As Official Lighting Partner of this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, OSRAM has been granted extensive global association, event, media and new media rights for the upcoming events. In return, OSRAM is contributing most of the entertainment lighting. This year’s contest takes place May 19, 21 and 23 at the Wiener Stadthalle in Vienna, Austria.
“We transform the largest entertainment spectacle in the world into the largest lighting technology event with our light systems,” commented Hans-Joachim Schwabe, CEO of the Osram Specialty Lighting Business Unit. “We want to turn the show into a really unforgettable event for the audience.”
This includes stage lighting from Osram subsidiary Clay Paky, and Lightify, an iOSRAM LED lighting system controlled via a smartphone app.Visitors to the Eurovision Village at Rathausplatz will be able to use Lightify to cast their votes and show support for a song. The square will be bathed in red light to signify maximum points, and blue at the other end of the spectrum to indicate one point.
