Each public broadcaster taking part in the Eurovision Song Contest appoints a Head of Delegation. This person is the European Broadcasting Union's contact person and the leader of his/her delegation, which includes the Head of Press, performers, song writers, composers, backing vocalists and other people.

As participating in the Eurovision Song Contest is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for most artists, the experience of the Head of Delegation is crucial!

Traditionally, the delegation head visits the Heads of Delegation meeting in March, where everyone is being informed on the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest and where the draw for the running order takes place.
