The Grand Final of the Pinke Socke Song Contest 2024 took place in Bosse Theatre, Hohenried, on Saturday 11 May.
Swedish broadcaster Pinksockiges Television (PST), together with the Pinke Socke Broadcasting Union (PSBU), organises the Contest thanks to Anfeen's historic win in Hohenried in 2023.
It was the third time that Hohenried hosted the Pinke Socke Song Contest.
Sweden itself hosted the Pinke Socke Song Contest for the first time in 2024.
United By Socks
Following its hugely successful use by the PPC, it was agreed by PST and the Pinke Socke Song Contest Reference Group (the Contest governing board), to use United By Socks as the official slogan for the Pinke Socke Song Contest in 2024, as well.
Furthermore, it was decided to keep the slogan for all successive events as part of the Contest's global brand strategy.
The Theme Art
'The Pink Lights' served as the theme art for the 3rd Pinke Socke Song Contest.
'The Pink Lights' is a concept based on simple linear gradients, inspired by the vertical lines that permeate both the northern lights and sound equalizers, and was created to be a versatile identity that can be adapted according to need and devices.
