The non-qualified countries were Cyprus, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Netherlands, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland and Yugoslavia.[1] Bartłomiej Nizioł of Poland won the contest, with Spain and Belgium placing second and third respectively.[3] It marked the first time any country had won on their first participation in any Eurovision event since Switzerland's victory at the first Eurovision Song Contest in 1956. Technically, it would also mark the only time a country won a Eurovision event without their broadcaster being a full member of the EBU, as the Polish broadcaster Telewizja Polska (TVP) wouldn't formally join the EBU until the following year.

The contest also marked the last participation of Yugoslavia in the contest. By the time of the contest, United Nations Security Council Resolution 757 (adopted 30 May 1992) had already placed sanctions on FR Yugoslavia,[4] which included a ban on its participation in international contests and cultural events. Therefore, this was the last participation of Yugoslavia at any Eurovision event.

Location

Cirque Royal, Brussels. Venue of the Eurovision Young Musicians 1992.

Cirque Royale (French) or Koninklijk Circus (Dutch) an entertainment venue in Brussels, Belgium, was the host venue for the 1992 edition of the Eurovision Young Musicians.[1] Conceived by architect Wilhelm Kuhnen, the building has a circular appearance but in fact is constructed as a regular polygon. It can hold 3,500 spectators, and nowadays is primarily used for live music shows.

Format

Belgian radio and television presenter and actress Marie-Françoise Renson, also known by her pseudonym "Soda",[5] was the host of the 1992 contest.[6] "Soda" was later the Belgian spokesperson at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1995.[7] Stéphane Grappelli, Marc Fosset and Jean-Philippe Viret [de] performed during the interval. The contest was attended by Princess Paola and ended with short montage as a tribute to Frank Naef.[8]
