Switzerland's Nemo won the 68th Eurovision Song Contest with their song 'The Code,' marking a significant victory as it is Switzerland's first win since Celine Dion in 1988. Nemo, who is non-binary, achieved a historic win as the first nonbinary winner of Eurovision. The contest, held in Malmö, was notable not only for the competition but also for the political tensions surrounding it, particularly concerning the Gaza war. Nemo's song, a unique blend of drum and bass, opera, rap, and rock, explores themes of non-binary self-discovery and received a total of 591 points from a combination of jury and public votes. Additionally, the UK finished in 18th place.
