Cuarenta y dos países participaron en el concurso. Portugal y Rumanía volvieron al concurso después de un año de ausencia, mientras que Bosnia y Herzegovina no participó por razones financieras. Rusia había planeado inicialmente participar, pero luego se retiró después de que a su representante, Julia Samoylova , se le prohibiera entrar en Ucrania en virtud de haber viajado directamente desde Rusia a Crimea , una región que fue anexada por Rusia en 2014, para realizar una actuación, lo cual es ilegal según la ley ucraniana.
El ganador fue Portugal con la canción " Amar pelos dois ", interpretada por Salvador Sobral y escrita por su hermana Luísa Sobral . La canción ganó tanto el voto del jurado como el televoto, y Bulgaria , Moldavia , Bélgica y Suecia completaron los cinco primeros puestos. Esta fue la primera victoria de Portugal en 53 años de participación, la más larga en la historia de Eurovisión. También fue la primera canción ganadora interpretada íntegramente en el idioma nativo de un país desde " Molitva " de Serbia en 2007. Los tres primeros países, Portugal, Bulgaria y Moldavia, lograron sus mejores puestos en su historia de Eurovisión, mientras que el país anfitrión, Ucrania, recibió su peor puesto hasta la fecha, terminando en el puesto 24 en la final.
La UER informó que 182 millones de espectadores vieron el concurso, 22 millones menos que el récord de 2016.
Ubicación
Centro Internacional de Exposiciones de Kiev: sede del concurso de 2017
Evento
El concurso se celebró en el Centro Internacional de Exposiciones de Kiev , tras la victoria de Ucrania en el concurso de 2016 con la canción «1944», escrita e interpretada por Jamala. El Centro Internacional de Exposiciones tiene una capacidad de aproximadamente 11.000 asistentes y es el centro de exposiciones más grande de Kiev. [1] Situado en la parte occidental del microdistrito de Livoberezhna , el centro fue inaugurado en octubre de 2002 y su director desde su construcción fue Anatoly Tkachenko. [1]
Ubicación de las ciudades candidatas: la ciudad elegida como sede está marcada en azul, las ciudades preseleccionadas en verde y las eliminadas en rojo.
El 18 de mayo de 2016 , la directora adjunta de la emisora anfitriona, la Public Broadcasting Company of Ukraine (UA:PBC), y jefa de la delegación para Ucrania, Viktoria Romanova, anunció que la primera reunión organizativa del concurso se celebraría antes del 8 de junio, durante la cual la Unión Europea de Radiodifusión (UER) y la UA:PBC analizarían los requisitos técnicos del concurso, así como la formación necesaria para que el concurso se celebre en Ucrania. Romanova también anunció que la sede del concurso se anunciaría durante el verano. [2] [3] [4]
El 23 de junio, la UA:PBC y el Gobierno de Ucrania lanzaron formalmente el proceso de licitación para que las ciudades interesadas presentaran su candidatura para albergar el concurso. [5] [6] La selección de la ciudad anfitriona se llevaría a cabo en cuatro etapas:
24 de junio – 8 de julio: Se invitó formalmente a las ciudades interesadas a presentar sus ofertas.
8–15 de julio: Un grupo de trabajo dentro de UA:PBC y un Comité Organizativo Local (LOC) designado por el gobierno encabezado por el Primer Ministro ucraniano Volodymyr Groysman revisaron las ofertas presentadas antes de su presentación formal.
18-22 de julio: Las ciudades candidatas presentaron formalmente sus candidaturas al COL. Se seleccionaron las candidaturas de tres ciudades y se las entregó a la UER.
22 de julio – 1 de agosto: Los representantes de la UER y el COL inspeccionaron las tres ciudades preseleccionadas para evaluar su infraestructura y la implementación de sus candidaturas. Inicialmente, se había planeado celebrar una conferencia de prensa durante este período para anunciar los resultados de la selección y la ciudad anfitriona.
Para la selección de la ciudad anfitriona se establecieron los siguientes criterios: [7]
El recinto deberá tener una capacidad mínima de 7.000 personas pero idealmente hasta 10.000 asistentes.
Un centro de prensa internacional debe tener capacidad para albergar no menos de 1.550 periodistas.
También se deberán prever espacios para las ceremonias de apertura y clausura con capacidad para al menos 3.000 asistentes.
La ciudad anfitriona deberá disponer de habitaciones de hotel a precios razonables, de acuerdo con los estándares europeos, que estén ubicadas cerca del lugar de celebración y del centro de la ciudad. Se deberán proporcionar al menos 2.000 habitaciones de hotel: 1.000 para las delegaciones participantes y 1.000 para los medios de comunicación acreditados y los aficionados.
La ciudad anfitriona deberá poder garantizar la seguridad y protección de los participantes, miembros de las delegaciones e invitados.
La ciudad anfitriona debe contar con una infraestructura de transporte moderna: un aeropuerto internacional y transporte fácilmente disponible entre el aeropuerto, la ciudad y los hoteles, además de un tráfico conveniente en la ciudad y la oportunidad de proporcionar rutas de transporte adicionales.
La ciudad anfitriona debe ofrecer un programa social junto con su candidatura, que muestre la hospitalidad, la originalidad, los valores culturales y la identidad tanto de la ciudad como de Ucrania.
Seis ciudades presentaron sus solicitudes antes de la fecha límite del 8 de julio: Dnipro , Járkov , Jersón , Kiev , Lviv y Odesa . [8] Antes de la apertura del proceso de licitación, las ciudades de Cherkasy , Irpin , Úzhgorod y Vinnytsia habían declarado su interés en albergar el concurso, pero no presentaron una oferta formal. [9] [10] El ministro de Cultura ucraniano, Yevhen Nyshchuk , declaró el 30 de junio que no existe una sede adecuada para el concurso en Ucrania, sugiriendo que se debería considerar la construcción de una nueva sede en Kiev o Lviv. [11]
Las seis ciudades candidatas fueron presentadas oficialmente al COL el 20 de julio en un programa de debate en vivo de dos horas titulado City Battle , transmitido desde los estudios de UA:Pershyi en Kiev y moderado por Timur Miroshnychenko , con comentarios de radio de Olena Zelinchenko. El programa fue transmitido por UA:Pershyi, Radio Ucrania y el canal de YouTube de UA:Pershyi con comentarios en inglés y ucraniano. Durante el programa, un representante de cada ciudad candidata presentó su candidatura frente a una audiencia en vivo en el estudio: [12]
Jersón: Volodymyr Mykolaienko (alcalde de la ciudad)
Kiev: Oleksii Reznikov (Vicedirector de la Administración Estatal de la Ciudad)
Lviv: Andrii Moskalenko (vicealcalde de la ciudad)
Odesa: Pavlo Vugelman (vicealcalde de la ciudad)
En el debate también participaron miembros del Comité Organizador Local, representantes de los medios de comunicación, expertos musicales ucranianos y fans.
Selección de anfitrión
UA:PBC anunció el 22 de julio que las ofertas de Dnipro, Kyiv y Odesa habían sido preseleccionadas para su posterior consideración. [13]
La UER anunció el 30 de julio que la ciudad anfitriona se anunciaría "a su debido tiempo", en lugar de la fecha establecida previamente del 1 de agosto, y el supervisor ejecutivo del concurso, Jon Ola Sand, afirmó que la UER "realmente quiere tomarse el tiempo que sea necesario para tomar la decisión correcta". [14] El director general adjunto de UA:PBC, Oleksandr Kharebin, declaró el 10 de agosto que la ciudad anfitriona se anunciaría el Día de la Independencia de Ucrania , el 24 de agosto. [15] El anuncio se programó posteriormente para el 25 de agosto; sin embargo, se pospuso a las 14:00 EEST , una hora antes de la fecha prevista, y la NTU citó la necesidad de considerar más a fondo algunos detalles finos sobre la decisión. [16]
Tras varios retrasos en el anuncio de la ciudad anfitriona, la UA:PBC anunció el 8 de septiembre que se reuniría con el Gobierno ucraniano y el COL el 9 de septiembre y que se había programado una conferencia de prensa para anunciar la ciudad anfitriona a las 13:00 EEST del mismo día desde el Centro de Prensa del Gobierno en Kiev. Se anunció a Kiev como la ciudad anfitriona del concurso y se seleccionó al Centro Internacional de Exposiciones como sede. [17] [18]
Ubicación del lugar de celebración del concurso (rojo) y otros sitios y eventos relacionados (azul)
Eurovision Village fue el espacio oficial para los aficionados y patrocinadores del Festival de la Canción de Eurovisión durante la semana de eventos. Allí fue posible ver las actuaciones de los artistas locales, así como los espectáculos en vivo transmitidos desde el recinto principal. Ubicado en la Plaza de la Independencia en Kiev , estuvo abierto del 4 al 14 de mayo de 2017. [30] [31]
El EuroClub fue el lugar donde se celebraron las fiestas oficiales posteriores al concurso y las actuaciones privadas de los participantes. A diferencia de Eurovision Village, el acceso al EuroClub estaba restringido a los aficionados acreditados, los delegados y la prensa. Estaba ubicado en el Centro de Congresos y Exposiciones Parkovy. [32]
El evento "Alfombra Roja", donde los concursantes y sus delegaciones se presentaron ante la prensa acreditada y los fans, tuvo lugar en el Palacio Mariinskyi en el centro de Kiev el 7 de mayo de 2017 a las 19:00 CEST, seguido de la Ceremonia de Apertura en el Centro de Congresos y Exposiciones Parkovy. [33] [34]
Países participantes
Para poder participar en el Festival de la Canción de Eurovisión es necesario contar con una emisora nacional con membresía activa en la UER capaz de recibir el concurso a través de la red de Eurovisión y transmitirlo en vivo a nivel nacional. [35] La UER envió una invitación para participar en el concurso a todos los miembros activos y al miembro asociado Australia. [36]
Inicialmente, el 31 de octubre de 2016, se anunció que cuarenta y tres países participarían en el concurso, igualando el récord establecido en 2008 y 2011. Portugal y Rumania regresaron después de un año de ausencia , mientras que Bosnia y Herzegovina se retiró por razones financieras. [36] Rusia había planeado participar, pero anunció su retiro el 13 de abril de 2017, después de que a su representante, Julia Samoylova , se le prohibiera ingresar a Ucrania en virtud de viajar directamente desde Rusia a Crimea , una región que fue anexada por Rusia en 2014, para dar una actuación, lo cual es ilegal según la ley ucraniana. Esto posteriormente redujo el número de países participantes a cuarenta y dos, el mismo número de países que en 2016. [37] [38]
Artistas que regresan
El concurso contó con cinco representantes que también se habían presentado previamente como vocalistas principales para los mismos países. Valentina Monetta , que actuó en un dúo esta vez, representó a San Marino en tres ediciones consecutivas: 2012 , 2013 y 2014. El dúo de Koit Toome y Laura Põldvere han representado a Estonia en diferentes años: Toome en 1998 como solista, terminando en el puesto 12 con la canción "Mere lapsed", y Põldvere en 2005 como parte de Suntribe , terminando en el puesto 20 en la semifinal con la canción "Let's Get Loud". Omar Naber representó a Eslovenia en 2005, terminando en el puesto 12 en la semifinal con la canción "Stop". [41] Esto también fue una de las pocas ocasiones en las que los mismos participantes no solo regresaron después de competir originalmente en el mismo año, sino que también tuvieron ambas participaciones en el mismo país anfitrión (el único otro ejemplo reciente fue 1982 , cuando tanto la noruega Anita Skorgan como la belga Stella Maessen regresaron al Reino Unido por segunda vez después del concurso de 1977 ). SunStroke Project representó a Moldavia en 2010 junto a Olia Tira , terminando en el puesto 22 con la canción " Run Away ". [42]
Los miembros activos de la UER en Andorra , Luxemburgo , Mónaco y Eslovaquia confirmaron su no participación antes del anuncio de la lista de participantes por parte de la UER. [45] [46] [47] [48] [49] [ 50] [51] BHRT , emisora de Bosnia y Herzegovina , hizo lo mismo debido a dificultades financieras [52] y al impago de deudas a la UER por un total de 6 millones de francos suizos (5,4 millones de euros); la UER ya había amenazado con retirar a BHRT de todos los servicios miembros en mayo de 2016, y a finales de 2016 comenzó a imponer sanciones a la emisora por sus deudas pendientes. [53] [54] [55] [56] A pesar de haber declarado inicialmente su participación en el concurso [57] y de los esfuerzos de organizaciones no gubernamentales encaminados a su regreso en 2017, [58] la emisora turca TRT finalmente optó por no participar. [59] [60]
Miembros asociados de la UER
La emisora kazaja Khabar Agency se convirtió en miembro asociado de la UER el 1 de enero de 2016, lo que abrió la posibilidad de su participación en 2017; [61] [62] sin embargo, Kazajstán no estaba en la lista final de países participantes anunciada por la UER el 31 de octubre de 2016. [63]
No miembros de la UER
En 2016, la emisora kosovar RTK fue invitada al Comité de Eurovisión para discutir la posibilidad de ser aceptada en la UER para participar en el concurso; [64] [65] [66] Sin embargo, Kosovo no apareció en la lista final de participantes. La emisora de Liechtenstein 1 FL TV anunció que no debutaría en el concurso en 2017, pero que tenía la intención de obtener la membresía de la UER para debutar en un concurso futuro, tras recibir apoyo financiero del gobierno. [67]
Formato
Las fechas preliminares del concurso se anunciaron el 14 de marzo de 2016 en una reunión de jefes de delegación en Estocolmo, y se esperaba que las semifinales tuvieran lugar el 16 y el 18 de mayo y la final el 20 de mayo de 2017. La UER eligió estas fechas preliminares para evitar que el concurso coincidiera con cualquier evento deportivo o televisivo importante programado para esa fecha. [68] Sin embargo, la UER anunció el 24 de junio de 2016 que las fechas preliminares del concurso debían adelantarse una semana, y que las semifinales se programaran para el 9 y el 11 de mayo y la final para el 13 de mayo. [5] Esto se debió a una solicitud de UA:PBC, ya que las fechas preliminares iniciales coincidían con el día del recuerdo de las víctimas de la deportación de los tártaros de Crimea el 18 de mayo. [69] [70] Sin embargo, a pesar de los intentos de evitar conflictos, las fechas finales coincidieron con los partidos de vuelta de las semifinales de la UEFA Champions League y la UEFA Europa League . [70]
En diciembre de 2016, Pavlo Hrytsak fue nombrado nuevo jefe del comité organizador. En febrero de 2017, 21 miembros del equipo renunciaron, alegando que el nombramiento de Hrytsak detenía efectivamente el trabajo en el concurso durante dos meses. [71] [72]

El sorteo para determinar la distribución de los países participantes en sus respectivas semifinales se llevó a cabo en el Salón de las Columnas el 31 de enero de 2017, organizado por Timur Miroshnychenko y Nika Konstantinova. Los treinta y siete semifinalistas fueron distribuidos en seis grupos, según los patrones de votación históricos calculados por el socio oficial de televotación del concurso, Digame. El sorteo de diferentes grupos ayuda a reducir la posibilidad de la llamada "votación en bloque" y aumenta el suspenso en las semifinales. [73]
Diseño visual
El tema del concurso, "Celebremos la diversidad", se dio a conocer el 30 de enero de 2017, con un diseño visual que presenta imágenes de cuentas estilizadas . El logotipo principal utiliza las cuentas para formar un amuleto tradicional ucraniano para el cuello . [74] [75]
Presentadores
Los anfitriones en la alfombra roja
La UER anunció el 27 de febrero que los presentadores del concurso serían Oleksandr Skichko , Volodymyr Ostapchuk y Timur Miroshnychenko , con Miroshnychenko también presentando la sala verde. [76] Fue la primera vez que el concurso fue presentado por un trío masculino, [76] y la segunda vez que el concurso no contó con una presentadora femenina, después de 1956. Miroshnychenko ha sido copresentador previamente del Festival de la Canción de Eurovisión Junior en 2009 y 2013. [77] [78 ]
Emojis promocionales
El 30 de abril se anunció que los equipos creativos de la red de Eurovisión y Twitter habían trabajado juntos para crear tres emojis que acompañarían a hashtags promocionales específicos durante la duración del concurso. El emoji del corazón aparecería junto a #ESC2017 y #Eurovision , mientras que el emoji del trofeo de los ganadores se usaría para #12Points y #douzepoints . El emoji final es el logotipo del concurso, que aparecería junto a #CelebrateDiversity , el eslogan del concurso. [79]
Actos de apertura y de intervalo
La UER publicó detalles sobre los actos de apertura y de intervalo para cada uno de los shows en vivo el 20 de abril. [80] La primera semifinal fue inaugurada por Monatik interpretando "Spinning", mientras que en el intervalo Jamala interpretó una nueva versión de su canción ganadora " 1944 " y " Zamanyly ". [80] La segunda semifinal fue inaugurada por un popurrí de canciones pasadas de Eurovisión interpretadas por los copresentadores Oleksandr Skichko y Volodymyr Ostapchuk, mientras que en el intervalo hubo una actuación de baile de Apache Crew titulada "The Children's Courtyard". En el intervalo de la final, Jamala interpretó su nuevo sencillo " I Believe in U ", [80] y Onuka interpretó un megamix junto con la Orquesta Académica Nacional de Instrumentos Folclóricos de Ucrania. [81]

Broadcasts
Most countries sent commentators to Kyiv or commentated from their own country, in order to add insight to the participants and, if necessary, the provision of voting information. The EBU announced on 9 May, that all three shows would also be streamed live via YouTube.[94]
It was reported by the EBU that the contest was viewed by a worldwide television audience of approximately 182 million viewers,[95] which was 22 million less than the 2016 record which was viewed by 204 million.[96] The EBU stated that this decrease in viewing figures was likely a result of the withdrawal of Russia and its decision not to broadcast any of the three shows.[37][95]
Incidents
Russian withdrawal
Channel One Russia (C1R) announced on 12 March 2017 that it would participate at the contest with "Flame Is Burning", performed by Julia Samoylova. However, Samoylova was issued a three-year travel ban on entering Ukraine by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) on 22 March,[160] by virtue of illegally travelling directly from Russia to Crimea, a region that was annexed by Russia in 2014, in 2015 to give a performance.[161][162] Entry to Crimea by non-Ukrainian citizens via Russia is illegal under Ukrainian law;[161] however, Samoylova confirmed that she performed in Crimea in 2015.[163][164][165]
The EBU responded by stating its commitment to ensuring that all participating countries would be able to perform in Kyiv, while expressing its disappointment at the lack of compromise from C1R and UA:PBC.[166] C1R was offered the opportunity to allow Samoylova to perform via satellite from a venue of its choice,[167] but such a compromise was rejected by both C1R and the Ukrainian government.[168]
The director-general of the EBU, Ingrid Deltenre, condemned Ukraine's actions, describing them as "abusing the contest for political reasons" and "absolutely unacceptable".[169] C1R announced its withdrawal from the contest on 13 April, stating that they also might not broadcast the contest.[37][38][170] C1R had not organised accommodation before the artist announcement, as is typically the case, and refused to attend the meeting of heads of delegation. By announcing its artist just before the deadline for entry submission to the contest and not booking a hotel, it was speculated that C1R had not intended to compete in Kyiv due to audiences booing Russian artists in previous contests.[171]
As part of the Russian Victory Day celebrations on 9 May, Samoylova gave another performance in Crimea, including "Flame Is Burning", the song which was intended to represent Russia at the contest.[172]
Israeli broadcaster compromise
Under a proposal by Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and finance minister Moshe Kahlon in April 2017, the Israel Broadcasting Authority (IBA) would be reorganised into two separate entities: the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation (IPBC), with responsibility for "general programming" such as entertainment, and another with responsibility for news and current affairs programming. The IPBC is also branded as Kan (Hebrew: כאן, lit. 'Here'). The EBU informed Kan's executive board on 7 April that such a compromise would render it ineligible for EBU membership without an outlet for news and current events programming. It was then reported that the IBA may cease to be a member of the EBU.[173]
The IBA was expected to close down on 15 May 2017, before Kan was expected to launch. However, on 9 and 10 May, the IBA abruptly shut down most of its operations in news and current affair programs.[174] The 2017 contest was the last program that Channel 1 aired under the IBA, where a skeleton staff of 20 people remained to ensure a smooth transmission of the shows.[122][175] After the contest ended, the IBA displayed a slide about its closure. During the jury voting segment of the final, Ofer Nachshon, the Israeli voting spokesperson since 2009, bid farewell on behalf of the IBA before revealing their jury points. This was incorrectly reported by several international media outlets as Israel leaving the contest.[176] Kan applied for EBU membership later that year, and signed an agreement with the EBU to allow it to participate in Eurovision events pending full membership,[177] thus permitting Israel's presence in the 2018 contest, which it went on to win.[178]
Argument for using pre-recorded vocals live
Norsk rikskringkasting (NRK) had discussions with the EBU regarding the abolition of the rule prohibiting pre-recorded vocals during live performances at the contest. Such a rule is intended to guarantee the authenticity of live performances.[179] The discussion stems from when Norwegian representative Jowst stated his displeasure at the rule in an interview on 24 March, in reference to the sampling technique of chopped vocals in his song "Grab the Moment" which cannot be attributed in the live performance.[179]
Such discussions were also in place in 1999, when pre-recorded vocals during the Croatian entry, "Marija Magdalena", performed by Doris Dragović, led to objections by the Norwegian delegation — led at the time by Jon Ola Sand. Such objections led the EBU to consider deducting a third of Croatia's final score, reducing it from 118 points to 79. However, such a deduction never occurred.[citation needed] The possible abolition of the rule, alongside the abolition of the live orchestra in 1999, has led some fans and critics of the contest to argue that the contest has become too commercialised and the authenticity of live performances has been compromised.[179]
After discussing the matter with the EBU, NRK were granted an exception to the rule. Jowst stated that "[the Norwegian delegation] have now been allowed to use the recorded vocal tracks, [...]. But [they] have also practiced a plan B with the backing vocalists, if there are big protests from others in Kyiv."[180] Both Jowst and Aleksander Walmann think that had "Grab the Moment" been in the semi-final of the 2018 contest following an abolition of the rule, they would have had an advantage. NRK stated on 2 May that Jowst was aiming to perform the song acoustically as a back-up, by bringing two additional backing vocalists who would perform the pre-recorded vocals live using a filter applied by the sound engineering team so as not to compromise on sound quality.[181]
Norwegian jury replacement
Norwegian jury member Per Sundnes made comments on NRK preview show Adresse Kiev on 17 April 2017 against Irish representativeBrendan Murray, saying: "It's been a long time since they've gotten up and I do not think they'll do it again. They try the same formula year after year."[182] The comments were not welcomed by the Irish delegation, who subsequently reported the matter to the EBU.[183]
The Irish Independent reported on 8 May that Sundnes had been replaced due to an alleged breach in jury rules. Commenting on the decision, the Head of Delegation for Ireland, Michael Kealy, said: "I'm glad that the European Broadcasting Union have reacted swiftly to this situation and that all jury members are impartial. It's only fair that each song in the Eurovision Song Contest is judged on its individual merits on the night." Sundnes was subsequently replaced by Erland Bakke.[184]
Sundnes stated in an interview with Verdens Gang on 9 May: "I do not know anything about the jury stuff, just that I'm not [in it]. It was not really surprising. The same thing happened in Sweden last year with the Swedish professional jury."[185]
NRK admits that they made a mistake by letting Sundnes sit in both the professional jury and the judging panel of Adresse Kiev. However, when they were informed by the EBU that this was against the rules, they rectified the situation quickly. Project manager for Melodi Grand Prix and Norwegian Head of Delegation, Stig Karlsen, stated: "We have received some concerns from several teams that Per has been in the jury, while at the same time he has been meaningful in the program. Therefore, we took a new assessment."[186]
Estonian technical issues
On 11 May 2017, during the transmission of the second semi-final, the microphone of the Estonian representative seemed to have malfunctioned as singer Laura Põldvere could not be heard for approximately two seconds by viewers at home. It was later revealed that the Estonian delegation considered appealing to the EBU to allow Põldvere and Koit Toome to perform their entry "Verona" again as a result of the error, but later decided against it. Mart Normet, the Head of Delegation for Estonia, explained "If there has been such a powerful performance for three minutes and given an absolute maximum, then this energy again does not come back when you go on stage again". The EBU responded to the situation, reportedly describing the error as purely technical, as the microphone was supposed to automatically come on. Instead, a sound technician was forced to respond by manually switching on the microphone via the sound desk.[187] The country ultimately failed to reach the grand final, with Põldvere expressing her annoyance, however stating "I do not think it's so tremendously influenced when a few words remain unheard".[188]
The Portuguese representative Salvador Sobral drew attention to the European migrant crisis by turning up to the first semi-final winners' press conference in an "S.O.S. Refugees" shirt.[189] "If I'm here and I have European exposure, the least thing I can do is a humanitarian message", Sobral stated. "People come to Europe in plastic boats and are being asked to show their birth certificates in order to enter a country. These people are not immigrants, they're refugees running from death. Make no mistake. There is so much bureaucratic stuff happening in the refugee camps in Greece, Turkey and Italy and we should help create legal and safe pathways from these countries to their destiny countries", he added, earning a round of applause.[190] Later on, the EBU ordered a ban so that he could not wear it for the remainder of the contest.[191] The EBU explained that Sobral's jumper was used as a means of "political message," which violates the rules of the contest.[191] However, Sobral argued in his winning press conference that it was not political, but a message of humanitarianism.[192]
Jamala stage invasion
Jamala's performance of her song "I Believe in U" during the interval of the final was disrupted by a man draped in an Australian flag who invaded the stage and briefly mooned the audience before being removed by security.[193] He was later identified as Ukrainian prankster Vitalii Sediuk.[194] In their response to the incident, the EBU stated the following: "A person took to the stage at the beginning of Jamala's performance of 'I Believe in U' at tonight's Eurovision Song Contest in Kyiv. He was quickly removed from the stage by security and out of the arena. He is currently being held and questioned by the police at the venue police office." The last time an unauthorised person gained access to the stage was in 2010 when the Spanish performance was disrupted by Jimmy Jump.[195]
Other awards
In addition to the main winner's trophy, the Marcel Bezençon Awards and the Barbara Dex Award were contested during the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest. The OGAE, "General Organisation of Eurovision Fans" voting poll also took place before the contest.
Marcel Bezençon Awards
The Marcel Bezençon Awards, organised since 2002 by Sweden's then-Head of Delegation and 1992 representative Christer Björkman, and 1984 winner Richard Herrey, honours songs in the contest's final.[196] The awards are divided into three categories: Artistic Award, Composers Award, and Press Award.[197] The winners were revealed shortly before the final on 13 May.[198]
OGAE
OGAE, an organisation of over forty Eurovision Song Contest fan clubs across Europe and beyond, conducts an annual voting poll first held in 2002 as the Marcel Bezençon Fan Award. The 2017 poll ran from 1 to 30 April with a daily-publishing of adding the votes of 44 clubs,[199] and after all votes were cast, the top-ranked entry was Italy's "Occidentali's Karma" performed by Francesco Gabbani; the top five results are shown below.[200][201][202]
Barbara Dex Award
The Barbara Dex Award is a humorous fan award given to the worst dressed artist each year. Named after Belgium's representative who came last in the 1993 contest, wearing her self-designed dress, the award was handed for the first year by the fansite songfestival.be after the fansite House of Eurovision organised it from 1997 to 2016.[203]

Rusia – Rusia había planeado originalmente participar en el concurso con la canción « Flame Is Burning », interpretada por Julia Samoylova . Sin embargo, Channel One Rusia se retiró del concurso el 13 de abril de 2017, después de que el Servicio de Seguridad de Ucrania (SBU) le prohibiera viajara Ucrania durante tres años el 22 de marzo, en virtud de viajar ilegalmente directamente desde Rusia a Crimea , una región que fue anexada por Rusia en 2014 , en 2015 para dar una actuación.
