Eurovision 2023 sweepstakes - win 50c!

https://i.imgur.com/WJwqOQ8.png

Only one act will win Eurovision this year, but a good handful of you lot can win prizes!

Literally all you have to do is post in this thread before Saturday afternoon and you'll be entered! 37 countries entered, 26 of whom will make it through to the final on Saturday night, and 1 will take the glory.

By entering you'll be allocated one of the countries hoping to take the crown - if we get fewer than 26 entries then I'll just assign the top ranked countries in terms of the betting odds. With one exception... Loreen (Sweden) is so so so far ahead of the pack in all the odds that I'm going to NOT give Sweden to anyone, just to make it a closer run!

Anyway here are the prizes on offer:

---

Winner winner chicken dinner

The overall winner in the final (or closest to Loreen lololol) will receive 50c, 1 month forum VIP, and 300 forum tokens

:bee:

First the first, second the best

The 2nd placed country will receive 20c, 2 weeks forum VIP, and 200 forum tokens

:bee:

Cat got your tongue?

The lowest ranked among you will get the new Cone Cat Carter furni - he's a grumpy little fellow

:bee:

Host with the most

If your country gives Ukraine or United Kingdom 12 points, you win a Bonus Bag!

:bee:

Get entering, and good luck!

Time for some winners!

Hope you all enjoyed the contest, I think it was musically the strongest there's ever been - even with a couple of duds on the night. As expected, Loreen left with the giant crystal trophy, which is great because it means my selection plan hasn't been ruined lolololol. Without further ado:
