Intervision Song Contest
The
Intervision Song Contest (ISC) was the
Eastern Bloc equivalent to the
Eurovision Song Contest. Its organiser was the
Intervision, the network of the Eastern Europe televisions (see:
Eurovision). It took place in the Opera Lesna in
Sopot,
Poland.
ISC was organised between 1977 and 1980. It replaced the Sopot International Song Festival (Sopot ISF) that was organised here since 1961. In 1981 the martial law was introduced in Poland and the ISC/Sopot ISF was cancelled. Since 1984 Polish television TVP is organising again this festival, but with the old name of the Sopot ISF. The winners of the Sopot ISF receive the Amber Nightingale.
