The Marcel Bezençon Awards were first handed out during the Eurovision Song Contest 2002 in Tallinn, Estonia honouring
the best competing songs in the final. Founded by Christer Björkman (Sweden's representative in the Eurovision Song Contest 1992 and Head of Delegation for Sweden until 2021) and Richard Herrey (member of Herreys, winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 1984 for Sweden), the awards are named after the creator of the annual competition, Marcel Bezençon.{{cite web|url=http://poplight.zitiz.se/marcelbezenconaward/en |title=Marcel Bezençon Award - an introduction |work=Poplight |access-date=2009-06-02 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131017033001/http://poplight.zitiz.se/marcelbezenconaward/en |archive-date=2013-10-17 }}
Although sanctioned by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), the awards are not presented during the Eurovision final, but rather are handed out during the official afterparty. Beginning with the 2009 contest, the trophies are handed out prior to the final.
Sweden's Melodifestivalen and Hungary's A Dal also present the awards during their own competition proper.
Categories
The awards are divided into 3 categories:
- {{dfn|Press Award}} – Given to the best entry as voted on by the accredited media and press during the event.
- {{dfn|Artistic Award}} – Presented to the best artist as voted on by the commentators since 2010. Until 2009, the category was voted on by previous winners of the contest.
- {{dfn|Composer Award}} – A jury consisting of the participating composers vote for the best and most original composition.
In {{Escyr|2008}}, a special one-off award was presented, the Poplight Fan Award, as voted by fans on the Swedish website Poplight.se and presented to their favourite debuting artist under the age of 25.{{cite web|url=http://www.esctoday.com/news/read/10840|title=Marcel Bezençon Award for fans|last=Viniker|first=Barry|date=2008-03-11|work=ESCToday|access-date=2009-06-02|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080313090821/http://www.esctoday.com/news/read/10840|archive-date=2008-03-13|url-status=dead}}
