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 2020 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 very first Eurovision Song Contest in 1956, and has not been repeated since.[upper-alpha 1]
