What is the Eurovision Song Contest's age limit for performers?

The Eurovision Song Contest is an annual international song competition, where participating countries send in their representative performers to compete with each other. The competition has been held since 1956, and has seen a wide range of performers, from young children to older adults. However, there are certain rules and regulations that performers must follow, including an age limit.

The age limit for performers in the Eurovision Song Contest is 16 years old. This means that anyone who is 16 years old or older can participate in the competition. There is no upper age limit for performers, so older adults are also eligible to participate.

It is important to note that the age limit applies to the performers, and not the songwriters or composers of the song. This means that the song can be written by someone of any age, as long as the performer is at least 16 years old.

The age limit for performers in the Eurovision Song Contest is 16 years old on the day of the final. This rule was introduced in 1990 after two artists in the 1989 contest were 11 and 12 years old on the day of the contest, which elicited complaints from some of the other participating countries. This rule's introduction means that Sandra Kim, who won the contest for Belgium in 1986 at the age of 13, would remain the contest's youngest winner until the rule is changed.

There is no minimum age for spectators, but children under 16 must be accompanied by a responsible adult aged 18+. Children under the age of 14 are not permitted in the standing area.
