I'll give you an overview about it but yes it's similar to what you said but:
Each member country submits a song to be performed on live television
and then casts votes for the other countries' songs to determine the
most popular song in the competition. Each country participates via one
of their national EBU-member television stations,
whose task it is to select a singer and a song to represent their
country in the international competition. The Contest has been broadcast
every year since its inauguration in 1956 and is one of the
longest-running television programmes in the world. It is also one of the most-watched non-sporting events in the world,[2] with audience figures having been quoted in recent years as anything between 100 million and 600 million internationally.
