| abstract | - The Eurovision Song Contest 1992 was the 37th annual contest held 9 May 1992 in Malmö, Sweden and hosted by Lydia Capolicchio and Harald Treutiger. This marked the first time Malmö would host the contest, they would do so again in 2013. It was also the last time Yugoslavia would compete as a full member with their regions forming independent countries, as well as the last contest to have direct qualification for all nations. After 15 years and 16 contests, Executive Supervisor Frank Naef announced that the 1992 contest would be his last. Before the voting started, he was given a send-off by Carola and massive applause from the audience. The winner was Linda Martin for Ireland with the song Why Me?, which was written by Johnny Logan, making him the only person to win Eurovision singing someone else's song, singing his own song, and writing a song for another artist. Christer Björkman, who represented host country Sweden in this contest, would go on to become the executive producer of the 2013 Contest, which coincidentally enough was also held in Malmö.
