Tallinn is the capital and largest city of Estonia. It is situated on the northern coast of the country, on the shore of the Gulf of Finland, {{convert|80|km|mi|abbr=on}} south of Helsinki in Finland. Tallinn's Old Town is one of the best preserved and intact medieval cities in Europe and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.{{cite web |url=https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/822 |title=Historic Centre (Old Town) of Tallinn. |publisher=UNESCO World Heritage Centre |date=7 December 1997 |access-date=29 September 2013 |archive-date=5 January 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200105193947/http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/822 |url-status=live }}

Early in the proceedings, media outlets had begun speculating whether {{lang|et|Eesti Televisioon|i=no}} (ETV) would be able to host the contest, citing a lack of a suitable venue and budgetary concerns. Due to this, Maltese broadcaster Public Broadcasting Services (PBS) and Dutch broadcaster {{lang|nl|Nederlandse Omroep Stichting|i=no}} (NOS) both expressed interest in hosting in the event in respective countries instead of Estonia.{{Cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/russian/news/newsid_1347000/1347478.stm|title=Эстония может остаться без "Евровидения"|date=May 23, 2001|via=news.bbc.co.uk|access-date=25 July 2022|archive-date=27 October 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221027154150/http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/russian/news/newsid_1347000/1347478.stm|url-status=live}}{{cite web | url=http://www.eurosong.org.uk/news/stories/funding.htm | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20011109142320/http://www.eurosong.org.uk/news/stories/funding.htm | archive-date=2001-11-09 | title=トイレつまりeurosong }} However, worries were put to rest when a combination of fundraising activities and the Estonian Government enabled them to host the event.

On 19 June 2001, it was announced that Estonia would still host the 2002 contest.{{Cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/russian/news/newsid_1397000/1397708.stm|title=Эстония все же примет "Евровидение"|date=June 19, 2001|via=news.bbc.co.uk|access-date=25 July 2022|archive-date=14 March 2004|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040314132805/http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/russian/news/newsid_1397000/1397708.stm|url-status=live}} The Saku Suurhall was ultimately chosen as the venue for the contest. It is the largest indoor arena in Estonia, built in 2001 and holds up to 10,000 people. It is named after the Estonian brewery and soft drink company Saku.

The total number of participants had originally been 22, but when the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) increased the number of participants for the contest to 24, this granted Israel and Portugal, which finished 16th and 17th in {{Escyr|2001}}, the opportunity to enter. Portugal declined to enter the contest due to internal problems in the Portuguese broadcaster {{lang|pt|Radiotelevisão Portuguesa|i=no}} (RTP). This allowed eventual winner Latvia, who finished 18th in 2001, to enter. Despite finishing in joint 18th place with the Netherlands in 2001, tiebreaking rules put Latvia higher due to receiving more sets of 8 points.{{cite web |last=Bakker |first=Sietse |date=2002-11-29 |title=EBU confirmed: Portugal resigns, Latvia is in |url=https://esctoday.com/121/ebu_confirmed_portugal_resigns_latvia_is_in/ |access-date=2009-02-28 |publisher=ESCToday |archive-date=9 April 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230409190005/https://esctoday.com/121/ebu_confirmed_portugal_resigns_latvia_is_in/ |url-status=live }}

A total of 24 countries competed in the 2002 contest, which included the 16 top placing countries from the previous year's contest and Latvia, alongside the seven returning countries, Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Finland, Macedonia, Romania, and Switzerland, which had been relegated from competing in the 2001 contest. These seven countries replaced the bottom 5 countries from the 2001 contest - Iceland, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, and Poland, all of which were relegated from taking part in this year's contest, as well as Portugal, who decided not to compete.

Draw for the running order took place on 9 November 2001.

Several of the performing artists had previously competed in past editions. Constantinos Christoforou, a member of One, had represented {{esccnty|Cyprus|y=1996|t=Cyprus in 1996}}; while Philippos Constantinos, another member of the band, had provided backing vocals for {{esccnty|Cyprus|y=1996|t=Cyprus in 1995}}. {{ill|Jody Pijper|nl}}, a member of {{ill|Sergio & the Ladies|it}} representing Belgium, had provided backing vocals for the {{esccnty|Netherlands|y=1982|t=Netherlands in 1982}}, {{esccnty|Netherlands|y=1990|t=in 1990}}, {{esccnty|Netherlands|y=1994|t=in 1994}}, and {{esccnty|Netherlands|y=1996|t=in 1996}}; while {{ill|Ingrid Simons|nl}}, another member of the band, had also provided backing vocals for the Netherlands in 1996.{{cite web |title=Belgium - 2002 |url=http://www.diggiloo.net/?info.2002be#artists |website=Diggiloo.net |access-date=27 November 2022 |archive-date=27 November 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221127142423/http://www.diggiloo.net/?info.2002be#artists |url-status=live }} Sahlene representing Estonia, had provided backing vocals for {{esccnty|Sweden|y=1999|t=Sweden in 1999}} and {{esccnty|Malta|y=2000|t=Malta in 2000}}.

For the first time, a slogan (or theme) was implemented. This year's theme was called 'A Modern Fairytale', which was evident in the postcards shown between the songs, which showed classic fairytales ending in modern Estonian situations.{{cite web|url=http://www.esctoday.com/news/read/670|title=Postcards about fairytales compared with Estonia|last=Bakker|first=Sietse|date=2002-05-23|publisher=ESCToday|access-date=2002-05-23|archive-date=11 February 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170211093634/http://www.esctoday.com/news/read/670|url-status=live}}

The postcards continued with the opening theme of "A Modern Fairytale" taking well known fairy tales and translating them into Estonian life through short films, with a moral at the end of each one of them.

The Marcel Bezençon Awards are a series of awards held concurrently to the main contest, with the aim of honouring and celebrating the participants of the final of that year's Eurovision Song Contest. Named after the Swiss broadcasting executive Marcel Bezençon, one of the people influencial in the creation of the contest,{{cite web |title=The Origins of Eurovision |url=https://eurovision.tv/history/origins-of-eurovision |publisher=European Broadcasting Union (EBU) |access-date=7 May 2025 |date=27 May 2019}} and created by two former Swedish Eurovision participants, Christer Björkman ({{escyr|1992}}) and Richard Herrey ({{escyr|1984}} as a member of the winning group Herreys), the inaugural awards were presented at part of this year's event. Three awards were presented in 2002, with the winner of each award determined by a different group of individuals:{{cite web |title=Marcel Bezençon Awards {{!}} Eurovision Song Contest |url=https://eurovision.tv/about/in-depth/marcel-bezencon-awards |publisher=European Broadcasting Union (EBU) |access-date=7 May 2025 |language=en |date=1 July 2019}}{{cite web |title=Marcel Bezençon Award |url=https://www.marcelbezenconaward.com/ |publisher=Marcel Bezençon Award |access-date=7 May 2025}}{{cite book |last1=Richard |first1=Jean-Marc |last2=Clapasson |first2=Mary |last3=Tanner |first3=Nicolas |title=La saga Eurovision |date=2017 |publisher=Favre |location=Lausanne, Switzerland |isbn=978-2-8289-1549-0 |pages=422–425 |language=fr}}

• The Press Award for the best competing song, as determined by the collective votes of the accredited press and media, was awarded to the {{esccnty|France|y=2002|t=French entry}}, "{{lang|fr|Il faut du temps|i=unset}}" performed by Sandrine François
• The Artistic Award for the best artistic performance, as determined by the collective votes of previous Eurovision winners, was awarded to the {{esccnty|Sweden|y=2002|t=Swedish entry}}, "Never Let It Go" performed by Afro-dite
• The Fan Award, as determined by the collective votes of members of the international Eurovision fan club OGAE, was awarded to the {{esccnty|Finland|y=2002|t=Finnish entry}}, "Addicted to You" performed by Laura Voutilainen

The winners each received a hand-blown glass trophy designed by Karin Hammar and created at the {{ill|Stockholm Glass Studio|sv|Stockholms glasbruk}}, which were handed out backstage prior to the contest proper.

According to the EBU rules, every broadcaster was free to make a choice between the full televoting system and the mixed 50-50 system. In exceptional circumstances, where televoting was not possible at all, only a jury was used. In the EBU's rules for the 2002 contest, it was stated; In the televoting, households shall not be permitted to vote more than three times.{{cite web|url=http://www.myledbury.co.uk/eurovision/pdf/esc2002.pdf|title=Rules of Eurovision Song Contest 2002|publisher=Myledbury|access-date=9 November 2014|archive-date=17 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210117031529/http://www.myledbury.co.uk/eurovision/pdf/esc2002.pdf|url-status=live}}

At this contest (and the following one) the broadcaster decided to reverse the song recaps - starting instead with the last performed song (24) and finishing with the first performed song (1). This was due to the apparent preference within public vote for songs in the later part of the running order in comparison to the songs nearer to the start.

Below is a summary of all 12 points in the final:

This year saw allegations that the juries in certain countries were guilty of swapping votes among each other. According to the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet, The French Head of Delegation allegedly said that members of the Cypriot delegation had approached him to swap votes. In addition to Cyprus, allegations were also made toward Greece, Russia, Macedonia, Malta and Romania.{{Cite web|url=http://esctoday.com/1498/cheating_at_the_eurovision_song_contest_2002/|title=Eurovision Cheating at the Eurovision Song Contest 2002? - ESCToday.com|date=May 6, 2003|access-date=18 October 2014|archive-date=27 October 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201027204328/http://esctoday.com/1498/cheating_at_the_eurovision_song_contest_2002/|url-status=live}}

Each participating broadcaster was required to relay live and in full the contest via television. Non-participating EBU member broadcasters were also able to relay the contest as "passive participants"; any passive countries wishing to participate in the following year's event were also required to provide a live broadcast of the contest or a deferred broadcast within 24 hours. 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 viewers. Known details on the broadcasts in each country, including the specific broadcasting stations and commentators, are shown in the tables below.
