Azerbaijan then went on an impressive run of consecutive top five finishes from 2009 till 2013, including winning the Contest in Düsseldorf thanks to Ell & Nikki’s memorable duet Running Scared.
Their victory meant that the following show was organised by İctimai Television (İTV) and broadcast live from Baku, which is the furthest east the Eurovision Song Contest has traveled.
To date, Azerbaijan is the proud recipient of two Marcel Bezençon Awards; Sabina Babayeva won the Press Award in 2012 for When The Music Dies, and Farid Mammadov took the Commentator Award in 2013 for Hold Me.
