Eurovision 2014: Do you have what it takes?

by Michalis Vranis 205 views

Emmelie de Forest brought the Eurovision Song Contest back to Denmark and the Eurovision 2014 season begun moments after her winning performance. Do YOU want to be part of it all?

During the past 5 months, esctoday.com entered a new phase (a transition which is still undergoing). On 12/12/12, esctoday.com was introduced as the first Eurovision news site with responsive design (making it adjustable to all the devices it was browsed by). We enhanced our social media presence by running for the first time the BigPoll 2013 (the annual prediction tool which was accurate 70% on the first semi-final, 60% on the second semi-final and it predicted the winner and the top 4 countries). Furthermore, esctoday.com brought the audience closer to the atmosphere of the Eurovision Song Contest spirit by running special draws where it was giving away free passes to parties being held in Malmö as well as press material exclusively for our readers. But mostly, our coverage was specific and to the point. Esctoda.com was everywhere in Malmö.

What about now?

We live in times where accurate information is mixed with rumours, biased opinions and frauds. The #1 rule underlying esctoday the past 12 years is to deliver independent and objective coverage of the Eurovision Song Contest news. Esctoday.com is well known for its’ values and our team is working 24/7 under this sole rule!

Do you want to be part of the madness and the joy?

  • Do you have a passion for the Eurovision Song Contest?
  • Would you rather hunt news and share it rather than just sit back and read it?
