The biggest and most respected Eurovision Song Contest predictive tool on the internet is back for a sixth year! The 2008 esctoday.com BigPoll is officially open. The poll relies on our readers accurately predicting the outcome of the Eurovision Song Contest and the semi final, we ask you to predict the finishing order of the participating countries. Will the esctoday.com readers get it right yet again?
The BigPoll will allow you to predict the result of the twosemi finals, and as soon as the second one is over on 22nd May, you will be able to predict the result of the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest Final.
The simple 'drag and drop' interface allows you to see the order of your predictions clearly on screen, in much the same way that you see countries move up the Eurovision Song Contest scoreboard during the voting.
Remember, we are asking you to predict the result, not vote for your favourite song (we will be doing that at a later date!). You are free to take into account political, neighbourly and diaspora voting, betting odds and preview shows. You can change and update your votes until the poll closes at 17:00 CET on Tuesday 20th May for the first semi final and 17:00 CET on Thursday 22nd May. A special prize will be awarded to the most accurate predictions.
The esctoday.com BigPoll is the most accurate prediction poll on the internet. It has correctly predicted the Eurovision Song Contest winner three times in the last four years. In last week's first national BigPoll, Swedish readers correctly predicted the winner, and top four songs in order in the Swedish final. Next year, a series of national BigPolls will be launched.
