Eurovision 2023: Marcel Bezençon award winners
Before the Eurovision 2023 Grand Final the three Marcel Bezençon Awards were awarded!
A beloved tradition since their inception in 2002, the Marcel Bezençon Awards, named after the creator of the Eurovision Song Contest, are given annually to three worthy winners. The awards were handed out in the Delegation Lounge just prior to tonight’s show by Christer Björkman, former Swedish Head of Delegation, 1992 Eurovision participant, and current Executive Producer of the American Song Contest.
