Winning musician

It was one of three contests where the winning country of the previous edition didn’t return to defend their title (the other instances being Germany withdrawing from the 1998 contest after winning in 1996, and Russia withdrawing from the 2022 contest after winning in 2018).

The non-qualified countries were Cyprus, Germany, Hungary, Switzerland and Yugoslavia.[1] Bartłomiej Nizioł of Poland won the contest, with Spain and Belgium placing second and third respectively.[2] It marked the first time any country had won on their first participation in any Eurovision event since Switzerland's victory at the first Eurovision Song Contest in 1956, and has not been repeated since.[upper-alpha 1] Technically, it would also mark the only time a country won a Eurovision event without their broadcaster being a full member of the EBU, as the Polish broadcaster (TVP) wouldn't formally join the EBU until the following year.

The contest also marked the last participation of Yugoslavia in the contest. By the time of the contest, United Nations Security Council Resolution 757 (adopted 30 May 1992) had already placed sanctions on FR Yugoslavia,[3] which included a ban on its participation in international contests and cultural events. Therefore, this was the last participation of Yugoslavia at any Eurovision event.

Notes

  1. The exception would be if one were to count individual broadcasters, as the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation, who took responsibility for Israel's participation in Eurovision events following the dissolution of the IBA in 2017, won the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest.
