Tonight, OGAE Australia revealed the results of the OGAE Song Contest in a live viewing party.
For those not familiar, the OGAE International Network (French: Organisation Générale des Amateurs de l'Eurovision, English: General Organization of Eurovision Fans) is the network of official Eurovision fan clubs.
The OGAE Song Contest sees national clubs enter an original song from their nation released in the previous 12 months and sung in one of the country's official languages.
Among the entries selected by OGAE clubs to represent them were Harry Styles for the UK, Kylie Minogue for Australia, Niall Horan for Ireland and Zara Larsson for Sweden. Also in the running was Slimane for France who is competing for the nation at Eurovision 2023.
So who won? Let's take a look at the results:
