How the Voting Works
Just like at Eurovision, viewers will have a major say in the result.
Voting will be open both in the 11 participating countries and to fans around the world through a Rest of the World vote.
The final result will be split equally:
- 50% jury vote
- 50% public vote
Each of the 11 participating countries will award a set of jury points, while the audience votes, including the Rest of the World vote, will make up 12 sets of televoting points. The familiar Eurovision scoring system will be used, with countries awarding 1-7, 8, 10 and 12 points to their favourite songs.
Who Will Make History?
Will the host nation Thailand claim victory on home soil? Can powerhouse names like Malaysia’s Aina Abdul or Korea’s JUNHEE win over viewers? Or could an underdog become the very first Eurovision Asia champion?
One thing is certain: by the end of Saturday, Eurovision history will have a brand-new chapter.
