EUROVISION RETROSPECTIVES

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

Every month (except April, May and September - or as advised), a random draw will choose a past Eurovision Song Contest, & we will then post the link to the contest/clips of the contest for members to watch and vote. We’ll let you know the relevant year in the monthly newsletter - and then provide the results the following month.

We will use the current standard 12, 10, 8-1 point voting system (unless otherwise stated) regardless of the voting system used at the original event.

We host online “Watch Parties”, for those members interested in watching along with others. These are hosted on a Sunday, usually the third weekend of the month. The exact date will be in the newsletter:

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

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

Casting your vote will earn you 5 points for each retrospective you take part in (unless otherwise stated).

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

APRIL & May 2025:

MARCH 2025:

Advancing forward from February’s foray into 1962 for March’s retrospective, we have again chip-dipped to see which year we will randomly Retrospectively review…

As is customary, we will of course hold two watch parties for the Retro, and they will be:
