Austria in Eurovision Song Contest
Austria has been participating in Eurovision Song Contest 48 times since it's debut in 1957. They won the competion twice: in 1966 (Udo Jürgens - Merci Chérie) and in 2014 (Conchita Wurst - Rise Like a Phoenix). They came last in the competition nine times (Zero points in 1962, 1988, 1991 and 2015).
Since the introduction of Semi-finals in 2004, Austria only qualified for the Grand Final 4 out of 8 times. In 2015 Austria hosted Eurovision Song Contest and was automatically qualified for the Grand Final, but came last with null points together with Germany.
