Editor's Message
Bienvenue! Velkommen! Welcome!

Well that was an exciting contest wasn't it? A huge congratulations to Ms. Conchita Wurst for her win at the Eurovision Song Contest 2014. Copenhagen really put on a good show, yes!? And now we look forward to seeing how Austria will produce the 60th Eurovision Song Contest in May 2015. However, even though one show has ended, the ABU Radio Song Festival 2014 is about to begin. Anyone with post-Eurovision blues, may wish to check out this other contest and perhaps contribute towards the article.

Remember to maintain a teamwork atmosphere, it is that which makes us one of the most efficient projects on Wikipedia. And also be on the look out for potential new members to the project. Post {{subst:EurovisionInvite}} (which will produced this template) on any user page you think is interested to join the WikiProject, to officially invite them to join.

Happy editing! Wes
