OGAE Song Contest 2021
The post-Eurovision OGAE engagement drive is in full swing, with the annual OGAE Song Contest voting commencing in September.
Our Club called for nominations in June, and members voted until mid July on the artist/song to represent us! Further information can be found below on this process!
Then we voted for our favourites, and provided our results, and a fabulous video, to OGAE UK. And then it was done!

The outcome will be posted once the full Song Contest results have been made live by OGAE UK (as per OGAE International requirements!).
Nominations, Voting and Representative results:
We received 19 nominations from our members! Please click here to open the playlist on Spotify - or click here to open an audio-only YouTube playlist. As always - these are for the SONG contest, and as such, music video should NEVER be a consideration for this.
2 points available for an eligible vote (singular) per member.
Please Note: If members vote in both the nominations AND the actual contest (2 points for an eligible vote - singular), there will be a total of 5 points for eligible votes, per contest, per member.
NOMINATIONS CLOSED JUNE 27/VOTING CLOSED JULY 15
Thank you to everyone who cast their vote on who will represent ROW!
Full results of our voting are available by clicking here!
Please note:
This is a SONG contest; as such, a playlist will be made with AUDIO ONLY in Spotify and YouTube.
The video contest is separate, hence any music video is not meant to be a consideration for this.
Please consider your nomination carefully as we will accept one nominee per member.
If we receive more than one, we will only use the most recent nomination.
This is a great chance to uncover some up-and-coming, or unknown, talent across our incredible geography. No eligible nomination, regardless of how left of centre it may be, will be ignored.
We will update this page when our nominations are available for voting, and again when the full contest is up and running.
