Sweden was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 with the song "Heroes", written by Linnea Deb, Joy Deb, and Anton Malmberg Hård af Segerstad, and performed by Måns Zelmerlöw. The Swedish participating broadcaster, {{lang|sv|Sveriges Television|i=no}} (SVT), organised the national final {{lang|sv|Melodifestivalen 2015|i=no}} in order to select its entry for the contest.
After a six-week-long competition consisting of four heats, a Second Chance round and a final, "Heroes" performed by Måns Zelmerlöw emerged as the winner of the {{lang|sv|Melodifestivalen 2015|i=no}} after achieving the highest score following the combination of votes from eleven international jury groups and a public vote.
Sweden was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 21 May 2015. Performing during the show in position 13, "Heroes" was announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 23 May. It was later revealed that Sweden placed first out of the 17 participating countries in the semi-final with 217 points. In the final, Sweden performed in position 10 and placed first out of the 27 participating countries, winning the contest with 365 points. This was the sixth win for Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest, having previously won in {{Escyr|1974}}, {{Escyr|1984}}, {{Escyr|1991}}, {{Escyr|1999}}, and {{Escyr|2012}}.

At Eurovision
According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progress to the final. In the 2015 contest, Australia also competed directly in the final as an invited guest nation. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) split up the competing countries into five different pots based on voting patterns from previous contests, with countries with favourable voting histories put into the same pot.{{cite web|last1=Brey|first1=Marco|title=Tomorrow: The semi-final allocation draw|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=tomorrow_the_semi-final_allocation_draw|website=Eurovision.tv|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=25 January 2015|date=25 January 2015}} On 26 January 2015, a special allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals, as well as which half of the show they would perform in. Sweden was placed into the second semi-final, to be held on 21 May 2015, and was scheduled to perform in the second half of the show.{{cite web|last1=Escudero|first1=Victor M.|title=Allocation Draw results: Who's in which Semi-Final?|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=DJP_allocation_draw_results_whos_in_which_semi-final|website=Eurovision.tv|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=26 January 2015|date=26 January 2015}}
Once all the competing songs for the 2015 contest had been released, the running order for the semi-finals was decided by the shows' producers rather than through another draw, so that similar songs were not placed next to each other. Sweden was set to perform in position 13, following the entry from {{esccnty|Iceland|y=2015}} and before the entry from {{esccnty|Switzerland|y=2015}}.{{cite web|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/vienna-2015/about/semi-final-2|title=Semi-final 2|website=Eurovision.tv|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=24 January 2015|date=24 January 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150317162355/http://www.eurovision.tv/page/vienna-2015/about/semi-final-2|archive-date=17 March 2015}} All three shows were televised on SVT1, with commentary by Sanna Nielsen and Edward af Sillén as well as broadcast via radio on SR P4 with commentary by Carolina Norén and Ronnie Ritterland.{{cite web|url=http://www.aftonbladet.se/nojesbladet/melodifestivalen/article20607257.ab|title=Nöjesbladet avslöjar: Sanna Nielsen och Edward af Sillén nya Eurovision-paret - Melodifestivalen - Nöjesbladet - Aftonbladet|language=sv|trans-title=Nöjesbladet reveals: Sanna Nielsen and Edward af Sillén new Eurovision pair - Eurovision Song Contest - Nöjesbladet - Aftonbladet|work=Aftonbladet|date=10 April 2015 |access-date=10 April 2015}}{{cite news|url=http://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=2023&artikel=6170051|title=Tiominuterspodden från ESC i Wien - del 2: Så var första semifinalen|language=sv|trans-title=Tiominuterspodden by the ESC in Vienna - Part 2: How was the first semi-final|work=sverigesradio.se=20 May 2015|date=20 May 2015 }} SVT appointed Mariette Hansson as its spokesperson to announce the Swedish votes during the final.{{cite web|last1=Roxburgh|first1=Gordon|title="Good evening Vienna" - Voting order revealed|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=good_evening_vienna_-_voting_order_revealed|website=eurovision.tv|publisher=EBU|access-date=23 May 2015|date=23 May 2015}}

The stage show featured Zelmerlöw performing in front of a projection board. During the verses, the performance focused on him singing in front of the board, interacting with choreographed graphics such as stick-man figures.

==Marcel Bezençon Awards==
The Marcel Bezençon Awards, first awarded during the 2002 contest, are awards honouring the best competing songs in the final each year. Named after the creator of the annual contest, Marcel Bezençon, the awards are divided into 3 categories: the Press Award, given to the best entry as voted on by the accredited media and press during the event; the Artistic Award, presented to the best artist as voted on by the shows' commentators; and the Composer Award, given to the best and most original composition as voted by the participating composers. "Heroes" was awarded the Artistic Award, which was accepted at the awards ceremony by Måns Zelmerlöw.{{cite web|last1=Roxburgh|first1=Gordon|title=Winners of the Marcel Bezençon Awards 2015|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=winners_of_the_marcel_bezencon_awards_2015|website=eurovision.tv|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=22 December 2015|date=25 May 2015}}
=Voting=
Voting during the three shows consisted of 50 percent public televoting and 50 percent from a jury deliberation. The jury consisted of five music industry professionals who were citizens of the country they represent, with their names published before the contest to ensure transparency. This jury was asked to judge each contestant based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act. In addition, no member of a national jury could be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently. The individual rankings of each jury member were released shortly after the grand final.{{cite web|last1=Bakker|first1=Sietse|title=Exclusive: Here are this year's national juries!|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=exclusive_here_are_this_years_national_juries|website=eurovision.tv|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=22 December 2015|date=1 May 2015}}
Following the release of the full split voting by the EBU after the conclusion of the competition, it was revealed that the public televote and jury results were in disagreement in regards to the winner in the final. Sweden was the winner of the jury vote with 353 points, however, the nation only managed third place with 279 points in the public televote, finishing behind Italy and Russia respectively.{{cite web|last1=Quinn|first1=Angus|title=Eurovision 2015 Split Results: Who Did the Jury Hurt?|url=http://wiwibloggs.com/2015/05/24/eurovision-2015-split-results-who-got-hurt-by-the-system/96383/|website=wiwibloggs.com|publisher=Wiwibloggs|access-date=22 December 2015|date=24 May 2015}} In the second semi-final, Sweden placed first with the public televote receiving 195 points and first with thejury vote with 208 points.{{cite web|last1=Adams|first1=Willy Lee|title=Semi final split results: Who the jury hurt at Eurovision 2015|url=http://wiwibloggs.com/2015/05/25/semi-final-split-results-jury-eurovision-2015/96543/|website=wiwibloggs.com|publisher=Wiwibloggs|access-date=23 December 2015|date=25 May 2015}}
