Before Eurovision

Melodifestivalen 1993

The Swedish representative was again chosen through Melodifestivalen. Melodifestivalen 1993 was held on 5 March 1993 in Gothenburg. 1569 entries was received by Sveriges Television for Melodifestivalen 1993, with 10 being selected to compete in the televised final.
The winner was selected over two rounds of voting. After 5 songs were eliminated by a jury, the viewers of melodifestivalen were allowed to select the winner through regional televoting.
The winner was the dansband Arvingarna with the song "Eloise".

At Eurovision

Arvingarna performed thirteenth at the 1993 Eurovision Song Contest, following France's Patrick Fiori with "Mama Corsica" and preceding Ireland's Niamh Kavanagh with "In Your Eyes." Their performance was jaunty and colorful, with the boys standing on stage in blue suits. The conductor was Curt-Eric Holmquist. While perhaps not particularly modern, it was still very catchy, and the juries awarded it 7th place with 89 points, thereby ensuring that Sweden had qualified for the following year's contest under the newly-introduced relegation system. The Swedish jury awarded their twelve points to eventual contest-winners Ireland.
