The fifty-fifth Eurovision Song Contest final will
be staged on May 29 2010 at the Telenor Arena in Oslo.
Two semi-finals will be held at the same arena on the 25
and 27 May. This year will equal the 1999 contest
as the latest ever in the calendar. In the early years
of the contest a date in March was usually chosen, but
over the following decades April contests became the
norm and then May. As the very first songs are
chosen around Christmas this makes for a five-month
season, which this part of Nul Points will attempt to keep tabs on.

Norway's largest city and its capital since 1814,
Oslo has been the launch point for centuries of
Norwegian explorers to set sail around the globe, and
that maritime influence remains today as many of the
worlds largest shipping companies are based here. One of
the worlds most expensive cities, it is also enviably
situated at the head of the picturesque Oslo Fjord and
enjoys a moderate climate due to the gulf stream.
In 2010 it becomes the ninth city to stage Eurovision
more than once following Cannes, London, Luxembourg
City, The Hague, Dublin, Jerusalem, Stockholm and
Copenhagen. |
