He said: “On behalf of the European Broadcasting Union, I’d like to thank IBC for this Changemaker Award, recognising the societal and cultural contribution made by the Eurovision Song Contest. “Like IBC itself, technology and innovation are very much part of the DNA of the Eurovision Song Contest, infusing every aspect of the event since it was created in 1956 to expand broadcasting boundaries. At its core, the contest has always aspired to unite audiences in different countries and celebrate our diversity. “We’re proud of the impact the
Eurovision Song Contest continues to have – entertaining audiences, launching new artists, and, in an ever-fractured world, showing we are all united by music.”
