"Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR)" - The abbreviation "NDR" is not used in the lead so it could be removed from the parenthesis.
"As a member of the "Big Five", Germany had automatically qualified to compete in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest, however, the contest was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic." - The comma before "however" should be a semicolon: "As a member of the "Big Five", Germany had automatically qualified to compete in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest; however, the contest was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Germany has won the contest on two occasions: in 1982 with the song "Ein bißchen Frieden" performed by Nicole and in 2010 with the song "Satellite" performed by Lena." - Both the preceding and succeeding sentences are past tense, so I think changing this to that will work as well.
"Interested performers and songwriters were able to submit their entries to NDR which additional proposals were received from artists, songwriters and producers who were invited by NDR. Several songwriting camps with German and international composers and lyricists were also held between June and October 2019 where 84 songs were created and submitted for the selection. 607 artist applications and 568 songs were received by NDR at the closing of the submission deadline." - Replace this part with "Interested performers and songwriters were able to submit their entries to NDR, and additional proposals were received from artists, songwriters, and producers who were invited by NDR. Several songwriting camps with German and international composers and lyricists were also held between June and October 2019, during which 84 songs were created and submitted for selection. 607 artist applications and 568 songs were received by NDR at the close of the submission deadline."
"the length of "Violent Thing" was longer than the three minute maximum" - Hyphenate: "three-minute maximum"
Consider adding alt text for the image.
The cover's content is not discussed in the body, so alt text describing what it looks like feels out of place. A screen reader would be able to read the caption and inform the reader that the image is acknowledging that it was released as a single as part of the promotion.

The Wiwibloggs Wikipedia article says it is a fansite and YouTube channel. Do you have a replacement for this?
At this point it is an established and reputable source in the Eurovision field. It is a reliable source that just so happens to have blog in its name. The site lists their editorial policies, key staff and their credentials, significance in the field, etc. [1], [2]. Grk1011 (talk) 22:54, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
