Having followed this competition closely for a couple of years, I've always been curious how important money is in order to succeed? I know many entries have done well every year "without" money, but how important is for example money if you want to do consistently well? For example I've had the feeling that Czech Republic has invested more in their recent entries, and that they will invest more in Eurovision in the years to come - for example broadcasting the national final live this year
I would think that Sweden spends a lot of money every year on melfest and staging/show - and it really shows in their results. On the other hand, it feels to me like Italy doesn't really do much but showing up with quality entries every year and do well without giving me the impression of having put in nearly the same effort as the Swedes. This might be connected to the music genres they're sending, and that the Italian entries are not as "polishable" as Swedens perhaps but you get my point. (This is not to shade Italy in any way though, in this case I mean it as something positive)
