Christer Björkman

Christer Björkman's greatest achievements are not trophies but the structures he built. As competition producer of Melodifestivalen for nearly two decades, he turned a national final into a television event that routinely draws millions of Swedish viewers. His record of serving as Head of Contest for seven Eurovision editions is unmatched, and his role in bringing the American Song Contest to NBC opened the Eurovision format to a new continent.
