2024 Good Luck Messages
Each year, OGAE Rest of the World members record some creative good luck messages for each of the acts participating in Eurovision. If you would like to check out some of the fantastic videos our members made in previous years, you can find them here.
The Good Luck messages are a #2025ESCPoints opportunity; until last year, this points opportunity is limited to 37 (or the number of participating entries) members/groups of members*. Each video is worth 10 points. Last year, we had almost double the number of interested members than entries, and in these cases, we put these videos together to make a singular Good Luck Message. This does not mean that everyone will get their first preferences. This means that you may still be randomly allocated a country if 2 people have already ecpresed interest in recording a good luck message for a particular entry.
All videos must be submitted by no later than noon CET on Sunday 24th march 2024
VIDEO REQUIREMENTS
Make a video of yourself or get creative with a slide show or let your imagination run wild, to wish your artist good luck or best wishes for their performance at the Eurovision Song Contest in Malmo 2024. The person who expressed the interest in making the video must be in the video themselves.
Please make sure that any pictures or videos that you use are not copyright. If you play a soundtrack during your video remember that different songs have different copyright requirements throughout the world. Generally, if you play a small section of a song (or use a very generic song) then it should be ok.
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT YOUR VIDEO MESSAGES WILL BE POSTED TO THE ARTISTS, COMPOSERS AND SONG WRITERS.
THEY WILL BE UPLOADED TO THE REST OF THE WORLD YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND THEN TWEETED OR INSTAGRAM’D TO THE ARTIST. THE MESSAGE WILL ALSO APPEAR ON OUR FACEBOOK PAGE.
ONCE THE VIDEOS ARE ON THESE PLATFORMS, THEY WILL BE VISIBLE TO THE ENTIRE WORLD.
Please be reminded that all videos must be in accordance with the OGAE Rest of the World Code of Conduct. These are Good Luck messages ONLY, any other intention conveyed in the video will not be accepted. Videos deemed non-compliant with the code of conduct will receive no points.
