A warm welcome to all participants and spectators on this very special event celebrating 10 Years of the Forum Song Contest!
Tonight we will celebrate a decade of musical excellence by revisiting the most appreciated entries of the last 10 years, and ultimately we will vote to crown the ultimate FSC-anthem of the last 10 years.
On this momentous occasion, we have gathered in Vaduz, the scenic capital of Liechtenstein.
Vaduz is the capital of Liechtenstein and also the seat of the national parliament. The town, which is located along the Rhine River, has 5,450 residents. On a hillside overlooking the town, Vaduz Castle dates back to the 12th century and is a royal family residence. In the Städtle, the pedestrianized town center, the sleek Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein displays modern art. Nearby, the National Museum houses archaeological and cultural artifacts in a medieval building.
Our host venue for tonight is the Vaduzer-Saal, an auditorium next to the Kunstmuseum.
With modern facilities, it is the ideal venue for large events, right in the centre of Vaduz.
Let's introduce our host for the evening, two of the most popular and successful recent winners of the Eurovision Song Contest:
