Sweden's Cornelia Jakobs wins the OGAE Poll for Eurovision 2022
After days and days of scores from all of the individual Organisation Générale des Amateurs de l’Eurovision (OGAE) clubs around the world, the final results are in and Cornelia Jakobs from Sweden has won this year's OGAE Poll for Eurovision 2022!
OGAE is an international organisation which consists of a network of 43 Eurovision Song Contest fan clubs across Europe and beyond.
It is a different network from INFE, however both share the similar ideals of uniting fans together in their love of Eurovision.
Every year since 2007, OGAE has conducted a pre-Eurovision Song Contest poll in which every national club plus OGAE Rest of the World cast a vote from all entries participating in each year's contest, using the same scoring system as the one at Eurovision. Each club's favourite song receives 12 points, followed by 10 points for second place, 8 points for third place and then 7 points down to 1 point for the remaining top seven. Just like at Eurovision, countries cannot vote for themselves.
After the results from 43 participating clubs from Europe, Australia and around the world, Sweden finished on top with 393 points.
Sweden received points from 41 clubs and 16 sets of 12 points, the most awarded to any entry in the poll! This includes 12 points from Australia! You can check how Australia voted in the OGAE Poll for Eurovision 2022 poll here.
Sheldon Riley has finished in 18th place with 16 points in the poll and received points from Latvia, Italy, Cyprus, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Portugal and the Rest of the World.
