Karin Karlsson, Malmö city's head project leader for the hosting of Eurovision:

"The volunteers are an important part of the hosting of the event, by being good ambassadors for Malmö. It is both an opportunity to make a contribution and at the same time get the chance to experience what happens behind the scenes."

The tasks for volunteers during the Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö will vary - everything from guiding invited guests around town to assisting with decor, helping the delegations of the various countries and contributing time and commitment towards being a part of "the face" of Malmö. In addition to being able to speak Swedish and English, a number of volunteers who are knowledgeable in the languages ​​of the countries' delegations will also be sought after.

Mats Schöld, Malmö city's project leader for volunteers at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024:

"There is already a lot of interest in contributing as a volunteer and we expect many applications. We are looking for people who are able to offer themselves and their time, who spread joy and act in a safe and welcoming way, and at the same time are eager to give our visitors an opportunity to discover the city."

On 15 December, the opportunity to apply to be a volunteer opens over at malmo.se/eurovision2024. Recruitment continues until 7 January.
