Thanks Tilman! This is good to know - I think we could still use the blog post as a lead-in for last year as we also share on social some of the progress being made at this year's contest on this link you have shared: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Eurovision_Song_Contest_2015

Thank you everyone for your review!

Great idea, appreciate it as the person who edited that post last
year... just be aware though that at this year's contest there are
Wikimedian photographers too, presumably also with press access.
User:Ailura just wrote on the Austrian chapter's list that she's "been
at the contest for 11 days and [is] at 11,000 photos"
(https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/vereinat-l/2015-May/002040.html

That is to say, I would go with the second suggestion in each case,
not the one that implies only Wikimedia Sverige got access to the
performers.
