EUROVISION RETROSPECTIVES

This activity will look back at Eurovisions past. The idea is that we, as OGAE Rest of the World, will cast our own votes as members on the songs, and decide our club’s favourite for the year. We will run this monthly for the most part, and each year will be randomly drawn.

Every month, with the exclusion of April, May and September (or as advised), a random draw will choose a past Eurovision Song Contest. We will post the link to the video of the contest for members to watch, and then cast their votes on their favourites.

While previously, different voting systems were used, we will maintain the current 12, 10, 8-1 point vote (unless otherwise stated).

In our monthly newsletter, we will inform of the year that was randomly drawn, as well as the results of the previous month’s retrospective. We will run this from the start of the month for approximately 25 days, to allow for tallying of voting and reporting of results.

We will continue to host online “Watch Parties”, if members are interested in accessing these ongoing. Currently, these are hosted on the following day/time (usually the third weekend of the month):

Sunday - 7:00pm AEDST/AEST - Australian Eastern Daylight Savings Time/Australian Eastern Standard Time
Sunday - 3pm EDT/EST - Eastern Daylight Time/Eastern Standard Time (USA)

We cannot guarantee that we will be able to meet everyone’s wishes, but we will do everything we can.

Each activity will be available until the 26th of the month to cast votes.

Casting your vote will earn you 5 points. (Per month if participating in each Retrospective - unless otherwise stated)
