United Kingdom in the Home Composed Song Contest
The United Kingdom is the only country to have participated in every edition of the Home Composed Song Contest from 1991 to date.
Despite this long history, a British entry has only won the competition once: "Running On Empty" by londonvision feat. Tiina in 2010. However, the man behind that entry, Andy Brook, also has two second places to his name, and podium positions were achieved by UK entrants Ace Frehmen, Dean Asker and Christina Irving in the 1990s.
