Switzerland has emerged victorious in Eurovision 2024, securing a historic win amidst a backdrop of controversy. The Swiss entry, Nemo, mesmerized audiences with their performance of ‘The Code’ at the grand final held in Malmö.

Nemo’s win marks a significant moment as they become the first non-binary artist to claim the Eurovision title. The artist’s blend of pop, opera, and rap in ‘The Code’ resonated strongly with viewers, propelling Switzerland to the top spot.

The competition, which saw 25 pulsating performances, was not without its share of contentious moments. Protests surrounding the Israel-Gaza conflict and the disqualification of Dutch contestant Joost Klein added layers of tension to the event.

As Nemo graciously accepted the Eurovision trophy from Loreen, they expressed their pride in representing the non-binary community on such a grand stage. The artist’s emotional response to the win underscored the significance of their achievement.

With Switzerland’s victory, Eurovision 2024 will be remembered not only for its musical talent but also for the messages of unity and self-expression championed by Nemo. The Contest’s future commitment to peace and inclusivity was highlighted in Nemo’s poignant acceptance speech.
