Description
Launching to coincide with the 70th broadcast of the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) in 2026, the Eurovision exhibition and events programme will showcase the science and technology needed to make a live global broadcast possible. The exhibition will be experiential, offering high quality, fun interactives alongside iconic Eurovision media, offering a taste of the glamour and excitement of the competition. This will be combined with objects from our BBC heritage collection, as well as loans from key partners and Eurovision superfans. We will also hear from contestants themselves about their journey to the iconic competition and their experiences competing, from fans and social media influencers about why they love the competition so much, and the army of invisible backstage workers who make the magic happen every year.
We are seeking interactive exhibit maker(s) to create our two interactives for the exhibition. Suppliers can bid for one or both of these lots.
a) LOT A: Get Set game - visitors step into the shoes of the Eurovision Song Contest stage
crew, using technology to set up the props for a star performance in super-fast time.
b) LOT B: Performance Space - the audio and visuals in this space will make visitors the stars
of the show, singing and dance along with iconic performances from Eurovision.
