Luxembourg In The Eurovision Song Contest
Luxembourg was one of the countries to participate in the first Eurovision Song Contest in 1956.
From their debut to 1993 Luxembourg competed frequently in the Contest, being absent from the contest once during this period. However since being relegated from taking part in the 1994 Contest the country withdrew from the contest indefinitely after a run of bad placings in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Famous quotes containing the words song and/or contest:
“They seldom looked happy. They passed one another without a word in the elevator, like silent shades in hell, hell-bent on their next look from a handsome stranger. Their next rush from a popper. The next song that turned their bones to jelly and left them all on the dance floor with heads back, eyes nearly closed, in the ecstasy of saints receiving the stigmata.”
—Andrew Holleran (b. 1943)
“I expect to maintain this contest until successful, or till I die, or am conquered, or my term expires, or Congress or the country forsakes me.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
