The Eurovision Song Contest 2016 was the 61st edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. It took place in Stockholm, Sweden, following the country's victory at the {{Escyr|2015||2015 contest}} with the song "Heroes" by Måns Zelmerlöw. Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster {{lang|sv|Sveriges Television|i=unset}} (SVT), the contest was held at the Globe Arena and consisted of two semi-finals on 10 and 12 May, and a final on 14 May 2016. The three live shows were presented by Petra Mede and the previous year's winner Måns Zelmerlöw.

Forty-two countries participated in the contest. {{Esccnty|Bosnia and Herzegovina}}, {{Esccnty|Bulgaria}}, {{Esccnty|Croatia}} and {{Esccnty|Ukraine}} returned after absences from recent contests, while {{Esccnty|Australia}} also returned after debuting as a special guest in 2015. {{Esccnty|Portugal}} did not enter, largely due to their national broadcaster's insufficient promotion of its music-based media, while {{Esccnty|Romania|y=2016}} had planned to participate, but was disqualified due to repeated non-payment of debts by its national broadcaster to the EBU.

The winner was {{Esccnty|Ukraine}} with the song "1944", performed and written by Jamala. {{Esccnty|Australia}}, {{Esccnty|Russia}}, {{Esccnty|Bulgaria}} and host country {{Esccnty|Sweden}} rounded out the top five. This was the first time since the introduction of professional jury voting in {{Escyr|2009}} that the overall winner won neither the jury vote, which was won by Australia, nor the televote, which was won by Russia, with Ukraine placing second in both. "1944" is the first song containing lyrics in Crimean Tatar to win the contest.

The Czech Republic managed to qualify for the final for the first time in five attempts since its debut in {{Escyr|2007}}, while both Bosnia and Herzegovina and Greece failed to qualify from the semi-finals for the first time ever, the latter being absent from the final for the first time since 2000. In the final, Australia's second-place finish was an improvement on its fifth-place finish in 2015, while {{Esccnty|Bulgaria}} finished fourth, its best result since its debut and first participation in a final since 2007.

The contest was the first to implement a voting system change since {{Escyr|1975}}: each country's professional jury points were announced largely as before, while the results of each national televote were combined and announced in reverse order. It was also the first contest to be broadcast on live television in the United States, and the EBU recorded a record-breaking 204 million viewers for the contest, beating the 2015 viewing figures by over 5 million.

The contest took place in the Globe Arena in Stockholm, following Sweden's victory at the 2015 contest. The Globe Arena has a capacity of approximately 16,000 attendees, and this was the second time the contest has been staged at the venue, after the Eurovision Song Contest 2000.{{cite web|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=stockholm_to_host_2016_eurovision_song_contest|title=Stockholm to host 2016 Eurovision Song Contest|work=Eurovision.tv|access-date=8 July 2015}}

}}Host broadcaster {{lang|sv|Sveriges Television|i=unset}} (SVT) announced on 24 May, the day after winning the 2015 contest, that the Tele2 Arena in Stockholm was their first choice venue. However, other cities and arenas were invited to apply, and those making a bid had approximately three weeks to submit their offer to SVT.

SVT announced on 1 June the conditions under which cities and venues could announce their interest in hosting the contest:{{cite web|last1=Jiandani|first1=Sanjay|title=Malmö to host Eurovision again?|url=http://esctoday.com/104452/eurovision-2015-malmo-to-host-eurovision-again/|website=esctoday,com|publisher=ESCToday|access-date=1 June 2015|date=1 June 2015}}

  • SVT had to have access to the venue at least 4–6 weeks before the contest to build the stage and rig up lighting and technology.
  • A press centre with a specific size had to be made available at the venue.
  • A specific number of hotels and hotel rooms had to be made available in the vicinity of the venue.
  • The host city had to be near a major airport.

An announcement regarding the venue was expected from SVT by midsummer,{{cite web|last1=Jiandani|first1=Sanjay|title=Preparations in full swing in Sweden|url=http://www.esctoday.com/104336/eurovision-2016-preparations-in-full-swing-in-sweden/|publisher=esctoday.com|access-date=29 May 2015|date=26 May 2015}} with the Ericsson Globe announced as the venue on 8 July.{{cite web|last=Granger|first=Anthony|url=http://eurovoix.com/2015/07/08/esc16-stockholm-to-host-eurovision-2016/|title=ESC'16: Stockholm To Host Eurovision 2016|publisher=eurovoix.com|access-date=8 July 2015|date=8 July 2015}}

The Eurovision Village was the official Eurovision Song Contest fan and sponsors' area during the events week. There it was possible to watch performances by local artists, as well as the live shows broadcast from the main venue. Located at Kungsträdgården in Stockholm, it was open from 6 to 13 May 2016.

The EuroClub was the venue for the official after-parties and private performances by contest participants. Unlike the Eurovision Village, access to the EuroClub was restricted to accredited fans, delegates, and press. It was located in a temporary building on the quay next to the water in front of the Royal Palace of Stockholm.

The EBU announced on 14 March 2016 that the Tele2 Arena in Stockholm would host a live event running alongside the final of the contest on 14 May.{{cite web |title=Stockholm's Tele2 Arena to host Eurovision The Party |url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=stockholms_tele2_arena_to_host_eurovision_the_party |access-date=15 March 2016 |website=Eurovision.tv |language=en-GB}} Eurovision the Party, hosted by Sanna Nielsen, allowed fans to watch the final on a big screen and featured backstage material from the Globe Arena such as Nielsen conducting exclusive interviews and appearing with hosts Petra Mede and Måns Zelmerlöw. The results of the Swedish jury vote was also announced live from the event by Gina Dirawi. A pre-party and after-party was also held and featured performances from former contest winners Carola and Loreen as well as Danny Saucedo, Panetoz and DJ Tim Henri.{{cite web |date=14 March 2016 |title=Sanna Nielsen leder Mellon – vid sidan av |url=http://www.expressen.se/kvallsposten/sanna-nielsen-leder-mellon--vid-sidan-av/ |access-date=14 March 2016 |work=Expressen}}{{cite web |date=14 March 2016 |title=Sanna Nielsens nya jobb under Eurovision |trans-title=Sanna Nielsen's new jobs over Eurovision |url=http://www.expressen.se/noje/melodifestivalen/sanna-nielsens-nya-jobb-under-eurovision/ |access-date=14 March 2016 |work=Expressen |language=sv}} Executive producer Johan Bernhagen has stated that the event complements existing events being held at the Eurovision Village and the EuroClub, and it is hoped that Eurovision the Party would become an annual event in the host city of the contest.

Participants

{{Further|List of countries in the Eurovision Song Contest}}

{{ESC 2016 participants}}

Eligibility for potential participation in the Eurovision Song Contest requires a national broadcaster with active EBU membership capable of receiving the contest via the Eurovision network and broadcasting it live nationwide.{{cite web|title=Which countries? FAQs |url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/about/which-countries-can-take-part#Which_countries? |website=eurovision.tv |publisher=EBU |access-date=22 May 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140522144052/http://www.eurovision.tv/page/about/which-countries-can-take-part |archive-date=22 May 2014 }} The EBU issued an invitation to participate in the contest to all active members and associate member {{Esccnty|Australia}}.

Participating countries had until 15 September 2015 to submit their applications for participation in the contest, and until 10 October to withdraw their applications without facing financial sanctions.{{cite web|last1=Jiandani|first1=Sanjay|title=Stockholm 2016: How many countries will join us in Stockholm?|url=http://esctoday.com/105590/eurovision-2016-how-many-countries-will-join-us-in-stockholm/|publisher=esctoday.com|access-date=11 September 2015|date=10 September 2015}} It had been initially announced on 26 November 2015 that 43 countries would participate in the contest, equalling the record number of participants set in {{Escyr|2008}} and {{Escyr|2011}}.{{cite web|first=Paul|last=Jordan|title=43 countries represented in Stockholm!|url=https://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=176263|website=eurovision.tv|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=26 November 2015|date=26 November 2015}} However, {{Esccnty|Romania}} was disqualified from participation on 22 April 2016, subsequently reducing the number of participating countries to 42.

Four countries returned after absences from recent contests: {{Esccnty|Bosnia and Herzegovina}} since {{Escyr|2012}}, {{Esccnty|Bulgaria}} and {{Esccnty|Croatia}} since {{Escyr|2013}} and {{Esccnty|Ukraine}} since {{Escyr|2014}}. Australia also returned after debuting as a special guest in 2015, but by invitation of the EBU due to the associate membership status of the Special Broadcasting Service. However, instead of pre-qualifying for the final and voting in all three live shows, as was the case in 2015, Australia entered the second semi-final and voted only in that semi-final and the final. {{Esccnty|Portugal}} did not enter, largely due to its national broadcaster's insufficient promotion of their music-based media, as well as a poorly structured selection process,{{cite web|last1=Kiernan|first1=Emma|title=Portuguese websites call for changes to Portugal's 2016 Eurovision selection|url=http://escreporter.com/portuguese-websites-call-changes-2016-eurovision-selection/|publisher=escreporter.com|access-date=19 July 2015|date=9 June 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150721191505/http://escreporter.com/portuguese-websites-call-changes-2016-eurovision-selection/|archive-date=21 July 2015|url-status=dead}} while Romania was disqualified on 22 April 2016 due to repeated non-payment of debts by their national broadcaster to the EBU.{{cite web|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=tvr_romania_no_longer_entitled_to_take_part_in_eurovision_2016|title=TVR (Romania) no longer entitled to take part in Eurovision 2016|website=eurovision.tv|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=22 April 2016|date=22 April 2016}}

Discussions were held in 2014 between the EBU and the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) regarding the inclusion of a guest performance from the ABU TV Song Festival at the contest. The EBU confirmed on 16 July 2015 that they would be looking into the possibility of the proposal, which was discussed at the ABU General Assembly in 2014.{{cite web|last1=Granger|first1=Anthony|title=EBU to look at possibility of Asian guest star|url=http://eurovoix.com/2015/07/16/eurovision-ebu-to-look-at-possibility-of-asian-guest-star/|publisher=eurovoix.com|access-date=8 August 2015|date=16 July 2015}}

SVT proposed a change of start time of the contest from 21:00 CEST to 20:00 CEST on 9 September, arguing that such a change would help to promote family viewing of the contest, especially in eastern Europe when it would run late into the night.{{cite news|title = SVT kapar Eurovisionbudget|url = https://www.dn.se/kultur-noje/melodifestivalen/svt-kapar-eurovisionbudget/|access-date = 19 September 2015|work = Dagens Nyheter|language = sv|trans-title=SVT cuts Eurovision Budget}} However, the EBU published the public rules of the contest on 28 October, which stated that the start time would remain at 21:00 CEST.{{cite web|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/upload/press-downloads/2016/2015-10-28_2016_ESC_rules_PUBLIC_EN.pdf |title=Public Rules of the 61st Eurovision Song Contest |date=28 October 2015 |access-date=21 January 2016 |publisher=European Broadcasting Union |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160122040331/http://www.eurovision.tv/upload/press-downloads/2016/2015-10-28_2016_ESC_rules_PUBLIC_EN.pdf |archive-date=22 January 2016 }}

The EBU announced on 23 September that rather than using clips from their respective music videos, extended clips from the dress rehearsals of the six acts who qualified directly to the final (the "Big Five" and host nation Sweden) would be shown as previews during the semi-final in which they were allocated to vote.{{cite web|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=big_five_and_host_country_more_prominently_in_the_semi-finals|title='Big Five' and host country more prominently in the Semi-Finals|work=Eurovision.tv|access-date=23 September 2015}}

{{See also|Voting at the Eurovision Song Contest}}

The EBU announced on 18 February 2016 that a new voting system would be implemented at the contest for the first time since 1975. The new system, inspired by the voting system of Melodifestivalen, involved each country awarding two sets of points from 1–8, 10 and 12: one from their professional jury and the other from televoting. Televoting votes from all the countries would be pooled. After viewers cast their votes, the results of each professional jury would be presented, with countries receiving 1–8 and 10 points being displayed on-screen, instead of 1–7 as had been the case since {{Escyr|2006}}, and the national spokesperson announcing only the country to which they award 12 points. After the results of the professional juries were presented, the televoting points from all participating countries would be combined, providing one score for each song. The new voting system would also be used to determine the qualifiers from each semi-final, but, as before, the qualifiers are announced in a random order.{{cite web|last=Jordan|first=Paul|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=biggest_change_to_eurovision_song_contest_voting_since_1975|title=Biggest change to Eurovision Song Contest voting since 1975|publisher=eurovision.tv|access-date=18 February 2016|date=18 February 2016}}{{cite web|url=http://www.eurovision.de/news/ESC-Finale-Barbara-Schoeneberger-ist-Spokesperson,schoeneberger768.html|title=Barbara Schöneberger verliest ESC-Punkte|last=Norddeutscher Rundfunk|date=7 April 2016|website=eurovision.de|language=de|access-date=7 April 2016|quote=Die Punkte für die Länder, die in der Zuschauer-Wertung die Plätze 11 bis 26 belegen, werden auf der Tafel eingeblendet.

As the new voting system would give equal weight to jury and televoting results, a national jury result could not be used as a backup result for the televoting or vice versa. Therefore, if a country could not deliver a valid televoting/jury result, a substitute result would be calculated by the jury/televoting result of a pre-selected group of countries approved by the contest's Reference Group. The Director General of Radiotelevisione della Repubblica di San Marino (SMRTV), Carlo Romeo, stated on 23 February that the use of a substitute televoting result discriminated against microstates like San Marino, which only used a professional jury due to their use of the Italian phone system and would therefore have its voting representation diminished under the new system, and criticised the EBU for not contacting its members before making the decision.{{cite web|url=http://www.smtvsanmarino.sm/programmi/speciali/eurovision-2016/news|title=ESC 2016: Press Release: Serhat & San Marino go Disco in Stockholm!|website=SMTV San Marino|access-date=27 February 2016|date=27 February 2016}}{{cite web|last1=Gallagher|first1=Robin|title=San Marino: SMRTV claims new voting system is "unacceptable"|url=http://wiwibloggs.com/2016/02/23/san-marino-rtv-claims-new-voting-system-is-unacceptable/127735/|website=Wiwibloggs|date=23 February 2016 |publisher=Wiwibloggs.com|access-date=27 February 2016}}

Drawing from different pots helps in reducing the chance of so-called neighbour voting and increasing suspense in the semi-finals. {{Esccnty|Sweden|y=2016}} and {{Esccnty|Germany|y=2016}} were pre-allocated to vote and perform in the first and second semi-final respectively due to requests from their respective broadcasters, which were approved by the EBU.{{cite web|last1=Van Eersel |first1=Dennis |title=Eurovision 2016: Semi-finals Allocation Draw on 25th of January |url=http://www.escdaily.com/eurovision-2016/ |publisher=ESCDaily.com |access-date=2 January 2016 |date=23 December 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151225063105/http://www.escdaily.com/eurovision-2016/ |archive-date=25 December 2015 }}{{cite web|title = Allocation Draw: The results!|url = http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=allocation_draw_the_results|website = Eurovision.tv|access-date = 25 January 2016}}

During the live broadcast of the final on Logo TV in the United States, Timberlake's performance was replaced by a reprise of "The Grey People" from the first semi-final, while the official DVD release removed it entirely. In an interview with The Guardian, the contest's Executive Supervisor, Jon Ola Sand, revealed that this was due to rights restrictions.{{Cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2016/may/12/how-eurovision-finally-cracked-america-justin-timberlake|title=How Eurovision finally cracked America|last=Qvist|first=Bella|date=12 May 2016|website=The Guardian|publisher=Guardian News and Media Limited|access-date=16 May 2016}}{{Cite episode|title=Eurovision Song Contest 2016 Grand Final|url=http://www.logotv.com/full-episodes/51pift/eurovision-song-contest-2016-the-61st-annual-eurovision-song-contest-grand-final-ep-1|access-date=16 May 2016|network=Logo TV|date=15 May 2016|time=02:17:36|season=61|series=Eurovision Song Contest|archive-date=18 May 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160518063633/http://www.logotv.com/full-episodes/51pift/eurovision-song-contest-2016-the-61st-annual-eurovision-song-contest-grand-final-ep-1|url-status=dead}}{{Cite web|url=https://eurovisionireland.net/2016/05/12/justin-timberlake-eurovision-usa-logo-predictions/|title=Justin Timberlake's Eurovision Performance WILL NOT Air in the USA!|last=Lewis|first=Lisa Jayne|date=12 May 2016|website=eurovisionireland.com|publisher=Eurovision Ireland|access-date=17 May 2016}}

Incidents and controversies

= Disqualification of Romania =

Romania's participation was reported to be in danger on 19 April 2016 due to repeated non-payment of debts by Televiziunea Română (TVR) to the EBU, totalling CHF 16 million (€14.56 million) dating back to January 2007.{{cite web|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-04-20/romania's-eurovision-dream-buried-by-mounting-debt/7341702|title=Romania's Eurovision dream buried by mounting debt|work=ABC News|access-date=19 April 2016|date=19 April 2016}}{{cite web|url=http://escxtra.com/2016/04/22/breaking-news-romania-will-not-participate-in-the-eurovision-2016/|title=Breaking news: Romania will not participate in the Eurovision 2016.|website=escXtra|first=Matteo|last=Manta|access-date=22 April 2016|date=22 April 2016}} The EBU had requested the Romanian government to repay the debt before 20 April or face exclusion from the contest. The EBU announced on 22 April that after the Romanian government had failed to repay the debt by the deadline, TVR were expelled from the EBU, consequently disqualifying Romania from the contest.{{cite web|url=http://esctoday.com/131857/romania-tvr-will-not-participate-eurovision-2016/|title=Romania: TVR will not participate in Eurovision 2016|website=esctoday|last=Jiandani|first=Sanjay|access-date=22 April 2016|date=22 April 2016}}{{cite web|url=http://metro.co.uk/2016/04/22/romania-expelled-from-the-eurovision-song-contest-5833623/|title=Romania expelled from the Eurovision Song Contest|website=Metro|first=Benny|last=Royston|access-date=22 April 2016|date=22 April 2016}} The Director General of the EBU, Ingrid Deltenre, said that while "it is regrettable that we are forced to take this action […] The continued indebtedness of TVR jeopardizes the financial stability of the EBU itself".{{cite web|url=http://www3.ebu.ch/news/2016/04/ebu-withdraws-member-services-fr|title=EBU withdraws member services from Televiziunea Română (TVR) following repeated non-payment of debt|website=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=22 April 2016|date=22 April 2016}}

However, because the official album of the contest had been produced before the disqualification, the planned Romanian entry, "Moment of Silence", performed by Ovidiu Anton, would remain on both digital and physical copies of the album. The song had been written following the Colectiv nightclub fire in October 2015.{{cite web|url=http://stirileprotv.ro/stiri/actualitate/eurovision-2016-ovidiu-anton-va-reprezenta-romania-la-eurovision-cu-piesa-moment-of-silence.html|title=Eurovision 2016: Ovidiu Anton a castigat Selectia nationala, reactia dura a lui Mihai Traistariu la adresa juriului|date=7 March 2016|publisher=Știrile Pro TV|language=ro-RO|trans-title=Eurovision 2016: Ovidiu Anton has won the national selection, harsh reaction from Mihai Traistariu towards the jury|access-date=17 May 2016|work=stirileprotv.ro}}

= German artist replacement =

Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) announced on 19 November 2015 that Xavier Naidoo would represent Germany in the contest. However, his selection was criticised due to his history of expressing far-right political views in his actions and lyrics, including a speech made at a protest in 2014 supporting the assertion that the German Reich continues to exist within its pre-World War II borders, his propagation of conspiracy theories surrounding the September 11 attacks and the 2008 financial crisis, and a song in which he referred to Baron Rothschild as "Baron Deadschild" and a "schmuck", as well as a collaboration with Kool Savas titled "Wo sind sie jetzt?", which contained homophobic lyrics which were interpreted as associating homosexuality with paedophilia. Critics of his selection included Johannes Kahrs, who branded the decision "unspeakable and embarrassing", the Amadeu Antonio Foundation and Bild.{{cite magazine|title=Controversial Contestant Xavier Naidoo Withdrawn As Germany's Contestant for 2016 Eurovision Song Contest|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/6770402/xavier-naidoo-withdrawn-germany-contestant-eurovision-song-contest|access-date=14 February 2016|magazine=Billboard}}{{cite news|title=Germany drops its pick for Eurovision 2016 over allegations of anti-Semitism and homophobia|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2015/11/22/germany-drops-its-pick-for-eurovision-2016-over-allegations-of-anti-semitism-and-homophobia/|access-date=14 February 2016|newspaper=The Washington Post}}{{cite news|title=Germany Will Not Send the Singer Xavier Naidoo to Eurovision|url=http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/11/23/germany-xavier-naidoo-eurovision/?_r=0|access-date=14 February 2016|work=The New York Times| date=23 November 2015 }}{{cite news|title=Germany's pick for Eurovision Song Contest 2016 causes controversy|url=http://www.dw.com/en/germanys-pick-for-eurovision-song-contest-2016-causes-controversy/a-18862746|access-date=14 February 2016|agency=DW}}

In light of the negative response and the need to quickly decide a new selection process, NDR withdrew its proposal to send Naidoo on 21 November. ARD co-ordinator Thomas Schreiber stated that "Xavier Naidoo is a brilliant singer who is, according to my own opinion, neither racist nor homophobe. It was clear that his nomination would polarise opinions, but we were surprised about the negative response. The Eurovision Song Contest is a fun event, in which music and the understanding between European people should be the focus. This characteristic must be kept at all costs."{{cite web|last=Escudero|first=Victor M|title=Xavier Naidoo withdrawn to represent Germany|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=xavier_naidoo_withdrawn_to_represent_germany|website=eurovision.tv|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=21 November 2015|date=21 November 2015}}

= Russian jury votes =

The EBU announced on 10 May 2016 that they were investigating reports of possible rule violations after Russian jury member Anastasia Stotskaya streamed footage of the Russian jury deliberation during the dress rehearsal of the first semi-final on 9 May on the live-streaming social media site Periscope.{{cite web|url=http://escnorge.net/esc2016/russisk-juryskandale-i-anmarsj-ebu-etterforsker|title=Russisk juryskandale i anmarsj?

The video also shows jury members on their phones during other performances, as well as a glimpse of Stotskaya's voting result, which also included notes evaluating performances. The rules of the contest stipulate that all jury members are to evaluate performances individually, without discussing the results with other jury members, a stipulation that was clearly violated by the Russian jury.{{cite web|url=http://wiwibloggs.com/2016/05/10/ebu-investigate-russian-jury-video/141647/|title=EBU to investigate Russian jury vote video|last=Gallagher|first=Robyn|date=10 May 2016|website=wiwibloggs|access-date=10 May 2016}}

The EBU released a statement later on 10 May, stating that following talks with Russia-1, the broadcaster proposed to withdraw Stotskaya, declaring her voting results to be invalid, and provide a replacement judge for the final on 14 May. The statement also clarified that the other four jury members submitted a valid jury vote. The EBU also stated that while streaming a video online from the jury deliberation is not considered to be a breach of the rules of the contest, so long as individual rankings, combined rankings or jury points are kept confidential until after the final, it regards Stotskaya's actions "as not in keeping with the spirit of the contest and potentially prejudicial as it imposes a potential risk of accidentally revealing results".{{cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/EBU.HQ/posts/1044678838957866|title=EBU - Official Statement:The EBU has been investigating... - Facebook|access-date=14 May 2016|publisher=Official EBU Facebook Page}}

= Protests over flag policy =

In ensuring the apolitical nature of the contest and the safety of attendees, the EBU released an official flag policy on 29 April 2016, which included a list of flags which would be banned from the three live shows. The President of the Basque Country, Iñigo Urkullu, and the Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, José Manuel García-Margallo, protested at the specific inclusion of the flag of the Basque Country alongside other flags such as those of some unrecognised nations and the Islamic State, and called on the organisers of the contest to rectify the issue.{{cite web|url=http://www.thelocal.es/20160429/furore-as-eurovision-bans-basque-flag-alongside-isis|title=Eurovision bans Basque flag alongside that of Isis terrorists|last1=Jones|first1=Jessica|website=thelocal.es|access-date=29 April 2016|date=29 April 2016}}{{cite web|url=http://www.elmundo.es/pais-vasco/2016/04/29/57231ecce5fdea00208b45cb.html|last1=Segovia|first1=Mikel|title=Urkullu y García-Margallo instan a Eurovisión a rectificar la prohibición de la ikurriña|website=elmundo.es|access-date=29 April 2016|date=29 April 2016|language=es|trans-title=Urkullu and García-Margallo urge Eurovision to rectify the prohibition of Ikurriña}} Radiotelevisión Española (RTVE) also expressed their concern to the EBU and requested a rectification,{{cite web|url=http://www.rtve.es/television/20160429/rtve-pide-se-elimine-ikurrina-entre-banderas-prohibidas-eurovision-2016/1347564.shtml|title=Eurovisión rectifica tras las explicaciones solicitadas por RTVE y pide disculpas|website=RTVE.es|access-date=29 April 2016|date=29 April 2016|language=es|trans-title=Eurovision rectifies after the explanations requested by RTVE and issues an apology}} with the EBU responding, saying that while the flag of the Basque Country is not specifically forbidden, it is an example of a banned flag, adding that only the "official national flags of the 42 participating countries, or from one of the countries that have recently taken part", "official national flags of any of the other United Nations member states", the flag of Europe and the rainbow flag were permitted.{{cite web|url=http://www.elmundo.es/pais-vasco/2016/04/29/5723446de5fdea2e158b45f8.html|last1=Segovia|first1=Mikel|title=Eurovisión dice que todas las banderas locales están prohibidas y la ikurriña solo "es un ejemplo"|website=elmundo.es|access-date=29 April 2016|date=29 April 2016|language=es|trans-title=Eurovision says that all local flags are prohibited and Ikurriña "is [only] an example"}}{{cite web|url=http://eurovoix.com/2016/04/29/esc16-kosovo-spain-challenge-flag-rules/|last1=Granger|first1=Anthony|title=ESC'16 Kosovo and Spain challenge flag rules|website=eurovoix.com|access-date=29 April 2016|date=29 April 2016}}

The EBU issued a statement later on 29 April, clarifying that it was not their intention to publish such a document, while acknowledging that the decision to publish a selection of flags of organisations and territories, each of which were "of a very different nature", was an insensitive one, and apologised for any offence caused by the publication of the original flag policy. The EBU also called on both the Avicii Arena and the contest's official ticketing partner AXS to publish an updated flag policy which did not include examples of banned flags.

The EBU released another statement on 6 May, stating that after discussing the matter with several participating delegations, the organisers of the contest had "agreed to relax the flag policy, and to allow national, regional and local flags of the participants" such as the Welsh flag (as Joe Woolford, representing the United Kingdom as part of Joe and Jake, is Welsh) and the Sami flag (as Agnete, representing Norway, is of Sami heritage), as well as the flags of all UN member states, the flag of the EU and the rainbow flag, as stated in the original flag policy. The EBU also proposed a more tolerant approach to other flags as long as attendees respect the apolitical nature of the contest and do not attempt to deliberately obstruct the camera views. Such a proposal was approved by the contest's Reference Group.{{cite web|url=http://eurovoix.com/2016/05/06/esc16-sami-flag-no-longer-banned-audience/|title=ESC'16: Sami Flag No Longer Banned From Audience|last=Granger|first=Anthony|date=6 May 2016|website=Eurovoix|access-date=6 May 2016}}{{cite web|url=http://www.nrk.no/sapmi/esc-kommer-ikke-til-a-nekte-bruk-av-sameflagg-1.12933749|title=Sameflagget er et respektert flagg|last1=Pettersen|first1=Monica Falao|last2=Andersen|first2=Johnny|date=6 May 2016|website=Norsk rikskringkasting|language=no|trans-title=The Sami flag is a respected flag|access-date=6 May 2016}}{{cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/226605230765235/posts/1042119972547086|title=Official statement on amendment to Eurovision Song Contest flag policy|date=6 May 2016|website=Facebook|access-date=6 May 2016}}

The Spanish Embassy in Stockholm filed a formal complaint to Swedish police on 15 May after a Spanish citizen carrying the flag of the Basque Country had his flag confiscated by security personnel and was asked along with two of his compatriots to leave the venue. After an urgent intervention by the Spanish Consul, who was present in the arena, the flag was returned to the attendees and they were permitted to return to the venue.{{cite news|url=http://politica.elpais.com/politica/2016/05/15/actualidad/1463323012_748414.html?id_externo_rsoc=FB_CM|title=España denuncia a Eurovisión por impedir el acceso con la ikurriña|last=Orzamabal|first=Mikel|date=15 May 2016|newspaper=El País|language=es-ES|trans-title=Spain denounces Eurovision for impeding entry with the flag of the Basque Country|access-date=15 May 2016}}

The EBU and the contest's Reference Group released a joint statement on 11 May, strongly condemning Mukuchyan's actions during the first voting recap of the first semi-final and considering it "harmful" to the overall image of the contest. The Reference Group consequently sanctioned Public Television of Armenia (AMPTV), citing a breach of the rule stating that "no messages promoting any organisation, institution, political cause or other causes shall be allowed in the shows". Furthermore, the Reference Group has pointed out that a further breach of the rules of the contest could lead to disqualification from the contest or future contests.{{cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/EBU.HQ/posts/1045195205572896|title=Official statement on use of Nagorno-Karabakh flag at Eurovision Song Contest|website=Facebook|access-date=13 May 2016}} The spokesman for the Azerbaijani Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Hikmet Hajiyev, called Mukuchyan's actions "provocative" and unacceptable, claiming that "the Armenian side deliberately resorts to such steps to encourage and promote the illegal formation created in the occupied Azerbaijani territories".{{Cite web|url=http://www.azernews.az/aggression/96432.html|title=Armenian provocation prevented at Eurovision Song Contest|last=Shirinov|first=Rashid|date=11 May 2016|website=azernews.az|publisher=AzerNews|access-date=17 May 2016}}
