The nation achieved its most recent victory in 1983, with the song "Si la vie est cadeau" performed by Corinne Hermès.[6] After finishing among the bottom seven countries at the 1993 event, Luxembourg was relegated under a new system to accommodate entries from new nations wishing to compete for the first time, and was thus prevented from participating in the 1994 contest.[15][26][27][28] In an interview with Luxemburger Wort in April 2024, Luxembourgish singer Thierry Mersch [lb] revealed that he had been contacted by Sammarinese broadcaster San Marino RTV to create a duet that would represent both countries jointly in the 2015 contest.[15][21][35] In July 2023, RTL launched its national selection process, with a televised final held on 27 January 2024 at the Rockhal in Esch-sur-Alzette.[47][48] As is customary the winning broadcaster is offered the opportunity to organise the following year's event,[2] which has resulted in Luxembourg hosting the contest on four occasions.The delegation, whose size can greatly vary, includes a head of press, the performers, songwriters, composers, and backing vocalists, among others.Each participating broadcaster assembles a five-member jury panel consisting of music industry professionals for the Eurovision Song Contest, ranking all entries except their own.[2][65] RTL has broadcast the contest on various television and radio channels during its participation history and has provided commentary in different languages for the local audiences.[51] As part of the broadcaster's delegation team, a creative director may be employed to provide guidance on the staging of the competing entry at the Eurovision Song Contest.At the 2024 contest RTL collaborated with the Ukrainian director German Nenov on the staging of the Luxembourgish entry in Malmö.
