Nemo’s Victory at Eurovision 2024: An Iconic and Tumultuous Triumph

Nemo’s victory at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 will be remembered as one of the most iconic and, why not, tumultuous moments in the competition’s history. To begin with, they became the first non-binary person to win the contest, breaking barriers and stereotypes in a single night. As if that weren’t enough, they received an impressive 22 «douze points» from the jury vote, cementing their performance as one of the most memorable.
However, what truly left a mark—not only on stage—was the unfortunate incident with the glass microphone. In a gesture of pure emotion, Nemo dropped the trophy, shattering it into pieces and injuring their finger in the process. A unique way to ensure that no one will forget their victory. Following the incident, the EBU gave them a second trophy to showcase during the post-final press conference, but they reportedly lost that one too!
Seizing on the buzz caused by the broken trophy, an ingenious brand decided to gift Nemo a trophy insurance policy. «Trophy insurance for Nemo. They broke the code and the trophy,» read the sign they shared on their social media. Because, of course, if you’re going to break records, you might as well be insured in case you break something else.
A Victory to Remember
Nemo’s victory at Eurovision 2024 not only broke new ground in terms of gender and scoring but also reminded us that even moments of glory can come with a bit of chaos. Between the spectacular performance, the trophy’s mishap, and the brand’s clever response, this triumph will be remembered for a long time. Meanwhile, Nemo continues to show that on the Eurovision stage, anything is possible—even breaking the glass microphone and coming out victorious.
