SC22 Entry Deadline - Tuesday 28th June - 11:59pm GMT

Please check the home page for full details on how to enter.

A quick note: Ties are broken based on which country has the most 12 points. If that is tied we look at 10 points, then 8, 7 and so on. If there is a tie all the way down, they will be shown in alphabetical order.

Finally, Dagobah, Hallownest and England Oi Oi all failed to vote, and will receive 20 point penalties.

Now... onto the Results!

France are first to give their results

An early lead for The Land of Anime, but with 16 Countries to vote there are no guarantees! (Also, ignore the fact England Oi Oi is on -21 votes, the editor stuffed it and couldn't be bothered to fix it last minute, it will be fixed in the next image)

(Told you) *Insert Country Name Here* move up to first, but there's a 4 way tie for 3rd place. England Oi Oi is the first of our negative starting countries to move upwards, and as it stands only Midgard and UK are on zero points. Audio-Stoned is up next to give their results!

*Insert Country Name Here* retain the top spot, but Ukraine are hot on their heels by a single point! The UK moves off from zero leaving Midgard there alone, though Dagobah is also still to receive any points. Still a long way to go through as *Insert Country Name Here* Step forward!

And Egland leap into first place! A three way tie is not happening for second, and Ukraine is joint 5th with Audio-Stoned! Dagobah finally receive a single point meaning Midgard is the only country remaining to receive points. Will any of that change as Red Carpet provide their votes?

A massive change at the top as Flashback are launched into first with Jamaica coming up second. The Land of Anime, our early leads have dropped back to 6th! But we still have over two thirds of the voting still to go, everything can (and likely will) change. Let's see what Nilfgaard do to things!

Twelve points to The Land of Anime pushes them into 3rd, but Jamaica are the ones to move into the top spot! Further down the field though and Midgard are finally off the starting grid with a good six points! Surely the only way is up for them. It's over to Flashback for their votes!

Twelve points to Dagobah, but due to their failure to vote they are still in the negatives. The Land of Anime however move into first place again as Jamaica slips back to second, with *Insert Country Name Here* in third. But there's only 6 points separating first and fifth. Ukraine is about to take us to the halfway point, so let's go over to them!

The Land Of Anime retain the top spot, but Jamaica drop back to fourth, while Alpha Earth move up into third after a great twelve points. But Alpha Earth are up next, so they could get left in the dust as we move into the second half of the voting.

Another twelve for Dagobah, and they have moved into the positives, as have Hallownest who just edge into there with a single point. At the top end however, The Land of Anime are still in first, *Insert Country Name Here* are still in second, and Flashback have moved back into third. The top end of the pack are starting to move away, so let's see what Germanyland does to things!

And Flashback move up to first! But there isn't much in it as The Land of Anime and *Insert Name Here* are only just behind them. The gap from first to fifth is widening drastically, so a few of the lower countries need to get some good points to have a chance from here. Let's see if Midgard can change any of their fortunes.

A strong boost to Nilfgaard there, it doesn't put them near challenging for the top yet, but with no points for The Land of Anime, nor Flashback, and it's definitely slowed the top of the pack down. At the very bottom Hallownest and England Oi Oi have both fallen out of the running for first place as neither can obtain enough points to claim the top spot. It's now time to go Downtown for our next batch of results!

The Land of Anime move back into first with that, while Alpha Earth move back up to challenge our leaders. Midgard and Red Carpet also now fall out of the running at the bottom of the pack. We still have four more countries to go though, so who knows what could happen? Our sixth place, Egland, is up next to give their votes!

A brilliant twelve for Midgard, but unfortunately too little too late for them. Alpha Earth's challenge for the top is successful as they move into it, while The Land of Anime get a few points to keep them in second. Germanyland, Bearville, Dagobah and Ukraine all drop out of the running. Just three more countries to go, could there be a thirty six point swing in Audio-Stoned's favour? Let's see as UK give their points out.

And while Audio-Stoned receive points, it won't be enough to gain a victory. Downtown receive a good twelve points, but still manage to fall out of the running as Alpha Earth are just too far ahead for the final two countries to make a difference for Downtown. It's extremely tight at the top as The Land of Anime are just a single point behind Alpha Earth. But it's also their turn to give their points. So are they going to fall too far back to catch our leaders? Let's find out!

The Land of Anime remain in the top three, and only our top three have a chance of winning overall, everyone else is too far back to catch up. We have just a single country left to give their points, so it all comes down to Bearville. Just who is going to be victorious on our first Song Contest back?

1st: *Insert Country Name Here* - As It Is - I Miss 2003

And *Insert Country Name Here* are out first winners as we return! A huge congratulations to them for picking up a victory here. Alpha Earth take a worthy second place, and The Land of Anime just grab the third place.
