The number of countries that wanted to take part became too big for the event so the EBU decided on a relegation system. In this contest, the 7 countries that finished on the bottom 7 spots of last years contest were relegated and Estonia, Lithuania, Russia, Poland, Romania, Hungary and Slovakia made their debut. Because Italy withdrew voluntarily, only the bottom 6 of the 1993-contest were actually relegated. The most memorable part of the evening was the interval act Riverdance. In the years afterwards millions of people visited this dance show. Ireland conceived it's 3rd consecutive victory, a new Eurovision record. Poland finished second, a memorable debut.
