Luxembourg first participated in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1965 and achieved five victories – in 1965, 1966, 1969, 1972, and 1973. However, the country withdrew in 1994, citing the high costs associated with participation and a perceived lack of public interest. Now, with renewed enthusiasm and investment, Luxembourg is determined to reclaim its place among Eurovision’s frontrunners.
The decision to re-enter the contest was driven by a growing demand from both the public and the music industry. Luxembourg’s national broadcaster, RTL, launched the LSC as a modern and inclusive platform to discover and promote emerging musical talent. The contest format incorporates both public voting and a professional jury, ensuring a fair and representative selection process.
The selection process began with an open call for submissions, attracting a remarkable 83 entries. A panel of experts carefully reviewed each song, evaluating its musical quality, originality, and potential to resonate with a wider audience. The eight finalists were chosen based on these criteria, representing the best of Luxembourg’s contemporary music scene.
