The Eurovision Song Contest 1993 was the 38th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, held on 15 May 1993 at the Green Glens Arena in Millstreet, Ireland. Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster {{lang|ga|Radio Telefís Éireann|i=unset}} (RTÉ), and presented by Fionnuala Sweeney, the contest was held in Ireland following the country's victory at the {{escyr|1992||1992 contest}} with the song "Why Me?" performed by Linda Martin.
Twenty-five countries participated in the contest, the largest yet held. Twenty-two of the twenty-three countries that had participated in the previous year's event returned, with {{esccnty|Yugoslavia}} prevented from competing following the closure of its national broadcaster and the placement of sanctions against the country as a response to the Yugoslav Wars. In response to an increased interest in participation of broadcasters from former Eastern Bloc countries following the collapse of communist regimes, three spaces in the event were allocated to first-time participating countries, which would be determined through a qualifying competition. Held in April 1993 in Ljubljana, Slovenia, {{lang|sl|Kvalifikacija za Millstreet}} featured entries from seven countries and resulted in the entries from the former Yugoslav republics of {{esccnty|Bosnia and Herzegovina}}, {{esccnty|Croatia}}, and {{esccnty|Slovenia}} progressing to the contest in Millstreet.
For the second year in a row, the winner was {{esccnty|Ireland|y=1993}} with the song "In Your Eyes", written by Jimmy Walsh and performed by Niamh Kavanagh. The {{esccnty|United Kingdom|y=1993}}, {{esccnty|Switzerland|y=1993}}, {{esccnty|France|y=1993}}, and {{esccnty|Norway|y=1993}} completed the top five, with the United Kingdom achieving their second consecutive runner-up placing. Ireland achieved their fifth victory in the contest, matching the overall record held by {{esccnty|France}} and {{esccnty|Luxembourg}}, and joined {{esccnty|Israel}}, Luxembourg and {{esccnty|Spain}} as countries with wins in successive contests.

The 1993 contest took place in Millstreet, Ireland, following the country's victory at the {{escyr|1992||1992 edition}} with the song "Why Me?", performed by Linda Martin. It was the fourth time that Ireland had hosted the contest, having previously staged the event in {{escyr|1971}}, {{escyr|1981}}, and {{escyr|1988}}, with all previous events held in the country's capital city Dublin.{{cite web |title=Millstreet 1993 |url=https://eurovision.tv/event/millstreet-1993 |publisher=European Broadcasting Union (EBU) |access-date=21 October 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221015182303/https://eurovision.tv/event/millstreet-1993 |archive-date=15 October 2022 |url-status=live}}{{cite web |title=Ireland – Participation history |url=https://eurovision.tv/country/ireland |publisher=European Broadcasting Union (EBU) |access-date=2 November 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220621202349/https://eurovision.tv/country/ireland |archive-date=21 June 2022 |url-status=live}}
The Green Glens Arena, an indoor arena used primarily for equestrian events, was chosen as the contest venue, with its owner Noel C Duggan offering the use of the venue for free, as well as pledging a further {{currency|200000|IEP}} from local businesses for the staging of the event.{{sfn|Roxburgh|2020|p=131}}{{sfn|O'Connor|2010|pp=132–135}} Individuals within {{lang|ga|Radio Telefís Éireann|i=unset}} (RTÉ), including the organisation's Director-General Joe Barry, were interested in staging the event outside of Dublin for the first time, and alongside Dublin RTÉ production teams scouted locations in rural Ireland in the months following Ireland's win.{{sfn|Knox|2015|p=129–140|loc=Chapter 15. The Cowshed in Cork}} Although the contest had previously been held in smaller towns, such as Harrogate, an English town of 70,000 people which staged the {{escyr|1982||1982 contest}}, with a population of 1,500, Millstreet became the smallest settlement to stage the event at that time and continues to hold the record {{as of|2025|lc=yes}}.{{cite web |title=Hosting Eurovision: A city in the spotlight |url=https://eurovision.tv/story/hosting-eurovision-a-city-in-the-spotlight |publisher=European Broadcasting Union (EBU) |access-date=23 October 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180107122616/https://eurovision.tv/story/hosting-eurovision-a-city-in-the-spotlight |archive-date=7 January 2018 |date=30 July 2016 |url-status=live}} The arena would have an audience of around 3,500 during the contest.{{sfn|Roxburgh|2020|p=131}} The choice of Millstreet and the Green Glens Arena to stage the contest was met with some ridicule, with BBC journalist Nicholas Witchell referring to the venue as a "cowshed", however Millstreet had won out over more conventional locations, including Dublin and Galway, due to the facilities available in the Green Glens Arena and the town's local community which were hugely enthusiastic about the event being staged in their area.{{sfn|Knox|2015|p=129–140|loc=Chapter 15.

{{ESC 1993 participants}}
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Eurovision Song Contest regularly featured over twenty participants in each edition, and by 1992 an increasing number of broadcasters had begun expressing an interest in joining the event for the first time. This came as a result of revolutions leading to the fall of communist regimes in Europe and the formation of new countries due to the collapse of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia. With the admission into the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) of the broadcasters of the countries that emerged from the breakup of Yugoslavia, and the merger of the EBU with its Eastern European counterpart, the International Radio and Television Organisation (OIRT), the number of broadcasters elegible to participate in the contest increased significantly.{{sfn|Roxburgh|2020|pp=132–135}}{{cite web |last1=Jordan |first1=Paul |title=Milestone Moments: 1993/4 – The Eurovision Family expands |url=https://eurovision.tv/story/milestone-moments-1993-4-the-eurovision-family-expands |publisher=European Broadcasting Union (EBU) |access-date=26 October 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180513105657/https://eurovision.tv/story/milestone-moments-1993-4-the-eurovision-family-expands |archive-date=13 May 2018 |date=18 September 2016 |url-status=live}} In an effort to incorporate these new countries into the contest, the EBU raised the maximum number of participants to twenty-five{{snd}}the highest number yet seen in the contest{{snd}}creating space for three new countries to participate alongside twenty-two of the twenty-three countries that had participated in the {{escyr|1992||1992 contest}}.{{sfn|O'Connor|2010|pp=132–135}}{{sfn|Roxburgh|2020|pp=132–135}} {{esccnty|Yugoslavia}}{{snd}}which had participated in the contest since {{escyr|1961}}{{efn|{{esccnty|Yugoslavia}}'s participants had represented the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia between {{escyr|1961}} and {{escyr|1991}} and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in {{escyr|1992}}.{{cite web |last1=Escudero |first1=Victor M. |title=Rock me baby!

As a temporary solution for the 1993 contest, a qualifying round was organised to determine the three countries which participate in the final for the first time. Subsequently, for the {{escyr|1994||1994 contest}}, a relegation system was introduced which would bar the lowest-scoring countries from participating in the following year's event.{{sfn|O'Connor|2010|pp=132–135}}{{sfn|Roxburgh|2020|pp=132–135}} At the running order draw, held in December 1992 at the National Concert Hall in Dublin and hosted by Pat Kenny and Linda Martin, the three new countries were represented as Countries A, B, and C, corresponding with the countries that would place first, second and third in the qualifying competition respectively.{{sfn|Roxburgh|2020|pp=132–135}}{{cite AV media |last=Harding |first=Peter |date=December 1992 |title=Linda Martin and Pat Kenny (1992) |type=Photograph |url=https://stillslibrary.rte.ie/indexplus/image/2703/057.html |access-date=23 October 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231023222714/https://stillslibrary.rte.ie/indexplus/image/2703/057.html |archive-date=23 October 2023 |location=National Concert Hall, Dublin, Ireland |via=RTÉ Libraries and Archives |url-status=live}} Entitled {{lang|sl|Kvalifikacija za Millstreet}}, the qualifying round took place on 3 April 1993 in Ljubljana, Slovenia.{{sfn|Roxburgh|2020|pp=132–135}} Initially broadcasters in as many as fourteen countries registered an interest in competing in the event, however only seven of them eventually submitted entries, representing {{esccnty|Bosnia and Herzegovina}}, {{esccnty|Croatia}}, {{esccnty|Estonia}}, {{esccnty|Hungary}}, {{esccnty|Romania}}, {{esccnty|Slovakia}}, and {{esccnty|Slovenia}}.{{sfn|Roxburgh|2020|pp=132–135}} Ultimately the entries from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Slovenia were chosen to progress to the contest proper in Millstreet;{{sfn|O'Connor|2010|pp=132–135}}{{sfn|Roxburgh|2020|pp=132–135}} as constituent republics of SFR Yugoslavia, representatives from all three countries had previously competed in the contest.{{cite web |title=Yugoslavia – Participation history |url=https://eurovision.tv/country/yugoslavia |publisher=European Broadcasting Union (EBU) |access-date=24 October 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220921192227/https://eurovision.tv/country/yugoslavia |archive-date=21 September 2022 |url-status=live}}

The results of the 1993 contest were determined through the same scoring system as had first been introduced in {{escyr|1975}}: each country awarded twelve points to its favourite entry, followed by ten points to its second favourite, and then awarded points in decreasing value from eight to one for the remaining songs which featured in the country's top ten, with countries unable to vote for their own entry.{{cite web |title=In a Nutshell |url=https://eurovision.tv/history/in-a-nutshell |publisher=European Broadcasting Union (EBU) |access-date=8 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220626052301/https://eurovision.tv/history/in-a-nutshell |archive-date=26 June 2022 |date=31 March 2017 |url-status=dead}} The points awarded by each country were determined by a jury assembled by each participating broadcaster of sixteen individuals, which was required to be split evenly between members of the public and music professionals, between men and women, and by age. Each jury member voted in secret and awarded between one and ten votes to each participating song, excluding that from their own country and with no abstentions permitted. The votes of each member were collected following the country's performance and then tallied by the non-voting jury chairperson to determine the points to be awarded. In any cases where two or more songs in the top ten received the same number of votes, a show of hands by all jury members was used to determine the final placing.{{sfn|Roxburgh|2020|pp=143–145}}{{sfn|Roxburgh|2020|p=73}}

Broadcasts<span class="anchor" id="Commentators"></span>
Each participating broadcaster was required to relay the contest via its networks. Non-participating EBU member broadcasters were also able to relay the contest as "passive participants". Broadcasters were able to send commentators to provide coverage of the contest in their own native language and to relay information about the artists and songs to their television viewers. These commentators were typically sent to the venue to report on the event, and were able to provide commentary from small booths constructed at the back of the venue.{{cite web |title=Commentator's guide to the commentators |url=https://eurovision.tv/story/commentator-s-guide-to-the-commentators |publisher=European Broadcasting Union (EBU) |access-date=2 November 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181112181824/https://eurovision.tv/story/commentator-s-guide-to-the-commentators |archive-date=12 November 2018 |date=15 May 2011 |url-status=live}}{{cite web |last1=Escudero |first1=Victor M. |title=Commentators: The national hosts of Eurovision |url=https://eurovision.tv/story/commentators-sweden-mans-zelmerlow-edward-af-sillen |publisher=European Broadcasting Union (EBU) |access-date=2 November 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170516182452/https://eurovision.tv/story/commentators-sweden-mans-zelmerlow-edward-af-sillen |archive-date=16 May 2017 |date=14 May 2017 |url-status=live}} The contest reportedly received an estimated global audience of 300 to 500 million television viewers.{{cite news |last=Lorenz |first=Alma |title=Zmagala irska balada |trans-title=The Irish ballad won |url=http://www.dlib.si/listalnik/URN_NBN_SI_DOC-TX07OL27/8/index.html |access-date=5 December 2024 |work=Delo |date=17 May 1993 |location=Ljubljana, Slovenia |page=8 |language=sl |via=Digital Library of Slovenia}}{{cite news |title=Sieg für Irland am 'Grand Prix Eurovision' |trans-title=Victory for Ireland at the 'Eurovision Song Contest' |url=https://www.e-newspaperarchives.ch/?a=d&d=NZZ19930517-01.1.7 |access-date=9 December 2024 |work=Neue Zürcher Zeitung |agency=Swiss Telegraphic Agency (SDA-ATS) |page=7 |date=17 May 1993 |location=Zürich, Switzerland |language=de |via=E-newspaperarchives.ch}} Known details on the broadcasts in each country, including the specific broadcasting stations and commentators are shown in the tables below.
