An example of this is that pre-recorded background song will be allowed. The idea is that the participants' travel companies can thus reduce in size, that broadcasting companies are given more opportunities to "explore new creative ideas" and that artists, producers and songwriters can create a performance more similar to the original composition, writes Eurovision's official website.
“The lesson we learned from spring 2020 is that we must plan for a global crisis, and we have tailored the competition rules with that in mind. We need to be able to be more flexible and make changes in both the format and how we organize the event during these difficult times, "Martin Österdahl, new director of Eurovision Song Contest, told the site.
Prerecorded background songs will initially be allowed during a one-year trial period.
