While the countdown for the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest is currently ticking down, the official fan organisation of the contest, the OGAE, has started their annual voting to predict the real winner of the contest. OGAE members from three countries have already given their predictions.
The official fan club of the Eurovision Song Contest, the OGAE (Organisation Générale des Amateurs de l’Eurovision) has started its annual voting with the members from 39 participating and non-participating countries. OGAE club members in each country start voting to predict the best entry for the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest. In the meantime, any-OGAE club cannot give a single point for their entry where they convert their member’s predictions to the points from 1 to 8 and then 10 and 12 as in the contest.
The results come together in OGAE International’s poll and then the results are released by them. Therefore, we know the three clubs’ results so far.
