COMPETITION FOUR
This is where you have to predict which 10 countries will qualify from semi final 1 to the final in Kyiv. You have to list the 10 countries you think will qualify. In order for transparency, you will have to publish your 10 countries here on the website or on the Eurovision coverage facebook so that all know what you have predicted.
Obviously the winner will be the person who predicted the most correct – hopefully all 10, but should nobody have 10 correct, we go down to 9 and then 8. In case more than 1 person are correct, the winner will be drawn by lottery.
This is a long term competition and you can continue with this until 9 am CET of the Tuesday of the live semi final 1 broadcast.
