We don't have much longer to wait before learning what act has been voted the winner of the OGAE Song Contest 2021.
The annual contest sees Eurovision fan clubs around the world pick one song released that year by an artist from their country to represent them. Club members then vote for which other country's songs they like the most.
There are 29 songs competing in this year's OGAE Song Contest, the winner of which will be named on October 31. The United Kingdom is vying for its fourth consecutive win, after having success with Steps (2018), Lewis Capaldi (2019) and Dua Lipa (2020). We polled the Aussievision team to see who they want to finish first. 11 team members used Eurovision-style voting, giving 12 points to their favourite song all the way down to 1 point for their 10th favourite. Aussievision team members could not vote for Australia, which is represented in 2021 with 'Fly Away' by Tones and I.
