About the OGAE Second Chance contest
The 38th annual contest, hosted by OGAE Sweden, saw 16 songs compete for a second chance at Eurovision glory, after failing to win national selection in their home country’s Eurovision selection process.
Members from the OGAE fan clubs vote for their favourite songs in a Eurovision-style contest, awarding 12 points to the most popular entry, 10 points for second, 8 points for third and so on.
The victor is determined entirely by the votes of OGAE fan clubs from participating nations, combined with guest juries from countries that did not hold a national selection for this year’s Eurovision Song Contest.
