EUROVISION RETROSPECTIVES

As members of OGAE Rest of the World, we cast our own votes on the songs of past Eurovision Song Contests, to crown our club’s favourite song for that year.

A number of times each year, we will choose a past ESC (at random). Links are provided for members to watch in their own time, or we hold a couple of watch parties (as per the time zones below) for members to watch together and comment along!

  • Watch Parties are usually on 3rd Sunday at 1900 AEDT/AEST e.g. Sydney & 1500 EDT/EST e.g. NYC

We use the current ESC-standard 12, 10, 8-1 point voting system (unless otherwise stated) regardless of the voting system used at the original event. Casting your vote earns you 5 points for that retrospective.

RETROSPECTIVE VOTING CLOSES 12 NOON CET ON 26 of the month*

*Unless otherwise stated below by the month of the year.

OCTOBER retrospective (Voting closes 12 noon cet, 26 oct 2025):

Find out which year we picked from the chip-bag for this month’s selection.
