ESCToday, in an exclusive collaboration with the INFE Network for the 3rd year in a row, will be presenting you the results from each of the 22 participating fan clubs around the continent and beyond, up until the winner’s declaration!

Day by day, each individual fan club of the INFE (International Network of Fanclubs of Eurovision) Network will be voting for their favourite Eurovision 2019 entries within the traditional Eurovision style: 12 points for their top favourite song, 10 points for their second favourite and from 8 to 1 point for the rest countries making up their Top 10! Who will gather the most “douze points” this year?

We’re now travelling far away to Australia, which is all set for its 5th Eurovision participation this year! Without having to talk about the popularity of the competition down under, the newly-formed INFE Australia has decided upon its favourite songs for 2019!
