What’s Eurovision?
Eurovision Song Contest, which is the world’s biggest live music contest, features artists from primarily European countries. Every country sends in a song for consideration. Competing countries vote to decide the winner. At least fifty-two countries participated in the contest.
From 2016, professionals juries and votes from every country award their own set of points ranging between 1 to 8, 10, and 12. The top 10 countries in both the jury and fan vote receive points.
Twenty-five total acts will qualify for the Grand Final. Italy, France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom—called “The Big Five”—automatically advance to the Grand Final. These 10 top vote-getters will also be joining them from the semi-finals.
Here’s a detailed explanation of how Eurovision voting works.
