| - The Eurovision Song Contest 2016 was the 61st of its kind and was held at the Ericsson Globe Arena in Stockholm, Sweden thanks to Måns Zelmerlöw's win the previous year in Vienna. The preliminary dates were determined at the 2015 Head of Delegations meeting to be on the 10th, 12th and 14 May 2016 - the same as that of the 2011 contest in Germany. These dates were made official with the announcement of the host city on 8 July 2015. Jamala won the 2016 Contest for Ukraine. She performed in Crimean Tatar, and English, with the former being a language that wasn't used in Eurovision before. 42 nations took part in Stockholm. Returning to the contest this year is Ukraine, who sat out 2015 due to financial problems. Australia also returned to the Contest, despite Jon Ola Sand stating that they wouldn't return if they didn't win, however, the country passed through the semifinal stage. Bosnia and Herzegovina returned after their last participation in 2012, BHRT was able to secure the funds needed to participate. Both Bulgaria and Croatia made their returns as well, their last participations being in 2013. Portugal decided to withdraw. It is the third time for Stockholm to host the contest, and the second time the Globe has hosted the event - the last being in 2000. It is also the first time since the new millennium a venue has hosted the contest twice. Two smaller venues in the Globe complex acted as supplementary areas: the Annexet housed the delegations and the Hovet acted as the main press centre. The Czech Republic qualified for the first time since its 2007 debut, while Greece's and Bosnia & Herzegovina's 100% qualification streaks were snapped and none of the Nordic countries in the semifinals advanced. Among the Big 5, France finished the highest in 6th place, their best result in 14 years. __TOC__ control room.jpg|The control room green room construction.jpg|Constructing the stage LED test.jpg|Testing the LED background computers.jpg|Computers controlling the scoreboard
