Kids Encyclopedia Facts

The Free European Song Contest, also known as FreeESC, is a fun music competition. It was started in 2020 by the TV channel ProSieben. In this contest, singers from different European countries compete each year.

Some famous singers have taken part. These include Nico Santos from Germany, Max Mutzke, and Ilse DeLange from the Netherlands. Sarah Lombardi also competed. The first winner of the Free European Song Contest was Nico Santos, representing Spain.

The Free European Song Contest was created because the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 was canceled. This happened due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe. The first FreeESC took place in Cologne, Germany. It was held on May 16, 2020, and shown on ProSieben.
