23 countries were in competition this year. Poland, Bosnia Herzegovina, Slovenia, Portugal, Lithuania and Greece returned to the contest, replacing the 7 countries with the lowest average result in the past 5 contests. The Eurovision Song Contest broke last years spectators-record again. Near 35.000 people watched the show live in the Parken soccer Stadium. The EBU introduced a new qualification rule. Only the top 15 and The Big-4 could participate in 2002, together with the passive countries. Estonia won the contest for the first time, which was rather a surprise, as they weren't mentioned among the pre-contest favorites.
