Eurovision Forum Song Contest 2014

Eurovision Forum Song Contest 2014

The Eurovision Forum Song Contest was born in 2008 on the initiative of Spanish Eurovision forum that started to organize a contest among some European ESC forums to learn more about the country and music scene of each other. 5 Eurovison forums participated in the first Eurovision Forum Song Contest that was organized by Spanish Eurovision forum. Hungary won the first edition.

In 2009 France was the winner of the 2nd edition, but  the French Group threw back the organization of the 3rd EFSC. Hungary camed 2nd so the Hungarian Forum was the hosts again in this year.

The third winner was Turkey, in 2010, but the Turkish forum is withdrawn from the organization. Once again Hungary has reached the 2nd place so it was the host forum for the next year.

For the fourth edition of the contest we have to wait until 2012, the year in which is Italy that won the competition.

Now it’s time starting the 5th edition of the Eurovision Forum Song Contest.
