Switzerland in the Eurovision Song Contest
Switzerland has been a part of the Eurovision Song Contest 62 times since the beginning in 1956 - in Switzerland. And the winner of the very first Eurovision Song Contest was... Lys Assia from Switzerland with the song "Refrain."
Switzerland won the 1988 contest with a then-unknown girl, Céline Dion, with the song "Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi" (only ONE point in front of number two, the United Kingdom). A star was born!
Since then, Switzerland hasn't had huge success in Eurovision. Since the introduction of the Semi-finals in 2004, Switzerland has only managed to qualify for the Grand Final in 7 out of 18 tries. Switzerland is a proud member of "Club Null," with four contests without any points
