Palestinian Eurovision
In collaboration with  PBC ? Palestinian Broadcasting Corporation
Sabreen Association for Artistic Development
Established in 1956, the Eurovision Song Contest is an annual televised
song contest; participants hail from numerous countries whose national
television broadcasters are members of the European Broadcasting Union
(EBU). The Contest is broadcast on television and radio throughout
Europe, in selected countries around the world and on the Internet. The
purpose of this contest is to promote high-quality, original songs in the
field of popular music by encouraging international competition among
singers, songwriters and composers.  The Eurovision represents the
postwar vision of European unity and peace through cultural exchange
and cooperation, and the idea of a future, cosmopolitan Europe. Since
European culture cannot be geographically limited to the continent,
participation is theoretically open to nations that are not geographically
part of Europe. Israel has thus participated in the Eurovision since the
1970s; together with its participation in various European sports events,
its participation in the Eurovision has influenced its inclusion in the wider
definition of European culture and of the West. In order to achieve the
goal of Palestinian participation in the Eurovision Song Contest, the
Palestinian Broadcasting Corporation (PBC) will apply for recognition of
Palestine as a participant in the event. PBC is an approved participant of
the EBU (European Broadcasting Union), and participation in the
Eurovision can only be achieved by becoming an active member.    In the
event that Palestine wins the Eurovision, the following Eurovision contest
should be held in Palestine.   The project is a joint initiative undertaken in
full partnership by the three partie.

SUPERFLEX was formed in 1993. Its members work & live in Copenhagen.
The group has organized various projects in the last few years in Europe
and around the globe.  Their works raise a discussion about dominating
economic structures and the production of goods. These artistic activities
are not directed necessarily against commercialization and globalization,
but try to make economic structures visible, and to include producers and
consumers within the art projects.
