Australia has received another point in the OGAE poll for 2025 from Switzerland!


Each year the OGAE Eurovision fan clubs from across the world vote for their favourite Eurovision songs ahead of the Contest.


The clubs are part of Organisation Générale des Amateurs de l'Eurovision (OGAE) International who each year conduct a pre-Eurovision Song Contest poll. Every national club casts a vote from all entries participating, using the same scoring system as the one at Eurovision.


12 countries have revealed their votes so far in this year's poll and today it was announced that Switzerland has awarded Australia 1 point!


Switzerland's voting is as follows -


  • 12 points - Austria

  • 10 points - Sweden

  • 8 points - The Netherlands

  • 7 points - Finland

  • 6 points - France

  • 5 points - Malta

  • 4 points - Israel

  • 3 points - Luxembourg

  • 2 points - Germany

  • 1 point - AUSTRALIA





After 12 countries have voted the Top 5 as of 25 April 2025 are -


  1. Austria - 117 points

  2. Sweden - 110 points

  3. The Netherlands - 87 points

  4. Malta - 48 points

  5. France - 45 points


19. Australia - 4 points


How does the OGAE poll work?


Within each club, the act that receives the most votes gets 12 points, the second most receives 10 points, and then 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 point for the remaining acts in descending order of popularity. Just like at Eurovision, OGAE clubs cannot vote for their own country.


On six occasions, the OGAE poll has successfully predicted the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest, with a further four OGAE poll winners coming in second or third place.


Previous Eurovision winners that were predicted by the OGAE poll are -


  • 2007 - Serbia - Molitva

  • 2009 - Norway - Fairytale

  • 2012 - Sweden - Euphoria

  • 2013 - Denmark - Only Teardrops

  • 2018 - Israel - Toy

  • 2023 - Sweden - Tattoo



You can follow along as the results are revealed via the OGAE International Instagram page.
