I would like to thank everyone who made this contest possible. @Sindo for maintaining the site, @OlympicIRL for their guidance, @dcro for their contributions, @vinipereira for the logo of the contest, @mrv86 for the draw tables. @hckošice @Cinnamon Bun @Cobi @Wumo for their participation in the draw. And of course I would like to thank all the jury members who participated in the contest. And as the jury member of Hungary I would also like to thank everyone who voted for our song. I never expected this song to reach the 6th place, that was the most surprising result of the contest for me. Thank you!

As I said during the first session, I came to this edition without any expectations. The most popular songs in Spain right now are not very interesting and I wanted to show something different of the Spanish culture. After searching for a while, I decided to go with a folk song in Galician, one of our three official regional languages (Galego, Català and Euskera/Basque) that was very close to represent us in Eurovision this year. To be honest I did not think this kind of music would be that appealing, but I am very happy with the result. I want to say thanks to all the jurors who voted for Tanxugueiras and also to everybody who took their time to listen to Terra: 12 - @kungshamra71 12 - @IoNuTzZ 12 - @Olympian1010 @dezbee2008 12 - @Illya 11 - @NikolaB 10 - @konig 10 - @Wanderer 10 - @justony 9 - @rybak 9 - @Belle 9 - @amen09 4 - @titicow 9 - @Federer91 5 - @Griff88 5 - @Hipooo 5 - @Ionoutz24 4 - @Benolympique @Bohemia 4 - @Fly_like_a_don 4 - @Ruslan 3 - @mrv86 1 - @Finnator123 And big thanks to our host @Vektor for organizing everything so perfectly. This was only my sixth edition participating but I can already imagine how difficult it has to be to prepare such enormous amount of templates, information, draws... I know I will not be as good host as you have been these weeks, but I can promise I will do my best to host the next edition... WELCOME TO ESPAÑA 2023! I can't forget to congratulate both @Cinnamon Bun@Quasit and @OlympicIRL for their medals. I have no idea how Tanxugueiras have finished above Ed Sheeran, but I guess that's the magic of this contest. And with this victory my next goal will be getting some points from and . After 6 editions these are the only 2 countries that I have never managed to receive a single point from (excluding Norway and those who only participated once) .

Spain Wins The 2022 Annual Contest With "TERRA" from Tanxugueiras! The prophecy was right all along!

Spain 12 My first TISC participation was the 2019 Open contest and guess what TISC meme originated from that contest? I guess the prophecy was right, Spain had to win the contest which was hosted by me. Joking aside, Spain collected 160 points, 4 x 12 pts from , 1 x 11 pts from and 3 x 10 pts from . There are no questions about which was the strongest nation of this contest. I would like to congratulate @Cobi, Spain was long overdue for this kind of success in TISC. And now we shall end the contest the way every song contest should, with the winning song. Goodbye 2022 Annual Contest, Goodbye Hungary, see ya at the next contest, hopefully in Czech Republic, and then next year in Spain! Tanxugueiras - TERRA

Interesting contest Firstly: congratulations to @Vektor for one of if not the most technically executed contests, it was super easy and entertaining to follow, very smooth grand final. Congratulations to Spain for their first ever win and to Ireland and Great Britain for their continuous success in these contests to land on a podium yet again. Congratulations to our team, we did it @Agger @Wumo @catgamer @Glen I think it's very fun to share this victory with you since our team is pretty much comprised of the OG's that have been with TISC since the very beginning As for Lithuania, well 14th place is not bad, sad we didn't hit the 100 points, many jurors liked the Lithuanian song, but nobody loved it. I thought that I wouldn't enter a Gebrasy song again, but it's nearly three years since I'm working with my new producer and best friend Faustas and I just wanted to showcase something from that part of my life, though the biggest pain was deciding between "Where'd You Wanna Go?" and "Into Your Arms", though I'll never find out which would've been a correct decision We'll continue to release new music and we're already working on a single for Summer, it's going to be in Lithuanian, I gladly invite you to follow our journey, but for TISC, I think I'll much rather prefer to highlight other artists in our music scene.

Congratulations to @Cobi and Spain for a magnificent victory, a first TISC title for the nation, very special moment I also want to congratulate @Cinnamon Bun @Quasit on taking the bronze medal, a 5th TISC podium for Great Britain Thank you so much to everyone who voted for Ireland and pushed us towards a wonderful silver medal. I’m so happy with this medal, finally we complete the set of medals after many years I just want to give special thanks once again to @dcro, @intoronto and @Bohemia @Benolympique for awarding their 12 points to Gavin James, I was honoured. And last but no means least I need to give a huge thanks to @Vektor who has been an outstanding host throughout this entire edition of TISC. He has given us a fantastic Grand Final, a beautiful ceremony, entertainment throughout the thread and has been a total professional in his hosting duties. You have taken such good care of TISC and it has been a pleasure to come on this journey to Hungary. Look forward to seeing you all again soon in Czech Republic for the 19th edition of TISC. Thanks to all who contribute to making this a fun experience each time.

That feeling when you vote last and can not say a single word about which song you love and which not and which votes looks accurate and which countries have some major lack of any musical taste

I'm terribly sorry for not being here during my voting, but did i just witness FINLAND HAVING THE DAMN 4TH PLACE??!? 4TH?!? ALSO A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE GIVING FINLAND POINTS! I WILL THANK YOU TOMORROW!

J'en Suis La Award - Hungary (20th --> 6th) - the nation who gained most places in the second half of the Grand Final - Passionfruit Award - Israel (Standard Deviation: 1.50) - the nation who scored the most consistent points - STOP THE COUNT! Award - Great Britain (Last Lead: 71.8% votes in (28/39)) - the last non-winning leader -

Congratulations to the podium winners: @Cobi, @OlympicIRL & @Cinnamon Bun@Quasit My deep appreciation to all users who enjoyed the Mexican entry, including @Werloc & @hckošice, who had it as reserve; this was one of the few good songs last year in my country. My greatest recognition to other deserving songs I wanted to award points, but sadly, had to cut this time: (R1), (R2), (R3), (R4), plus in no particular order: . This years entries were on a very similar level, so it was heartbreak everytime I had to cut one. Ona final note, Seamus and I will be enjoying our combo of Beer and Tequila, as I we enjoy our gyros.

secretly the biggest ice hockey nation

Team Challenge Final Standings There's no TISC without a team event and this time the most consistent team won the contest. The Szombathely Romans always had at least one nation in their team that helped them out in every session, they were a real team. Fehérvár Saints were the strongest team for session 2 and 3 but their mojo ran out in the last session. And while Pécs Scholars were already eliminated in the first round, they fought their way through the repechages and won the bronze medal. 1st Szombathely Romans Germany Lithuania Malta Denmark @catgamer @Werloc @Glen @Agger @Wumo 2nd Fehérvár Saints Colombia Canada China Romania @Damian @intoronto @Vic Liu @IoNuTzZ 3rd Pécs Scholars Bulgaria Indonesia Ireland Ukraine @Federer91 @Griff88 @OlympicIRL @Illya 4th Győr Rivers Spain Greece Kazakhstan Turkey 5th Budapest Capitals New Zealand Croatia Serbia Great Britain 6th Miskolc Cavers Poland Slovenia Mexico France 7th Kecskemét Goats India Netherlands Portugal Moldova 8th Tatabánya Falcons Hungary Argentina Brazil Israel 9th Debrecen Flowers Tunisia Sweden Finland Czech Republic 10th Eger Heroes Italy United States Slovakia

Here were my votes for those who were interested: 12 points 11 points 10 points 9 points 8 points 7 points 6 points 5 points 4 points 3 points 2 points 1 point My reserves were (in order) , , and . None of these countries got points from Greece except for my top 4. I guess that's how it is on a multi-member jury. Also I'd like to thank @IoNuTzZfor giving us 9 points and @Memo for 3 points

7th place and 106 points for Poland is very satisfying result, second best after 4th place in 2014 Congrats @Cobi once more for win, perfect choice, also big congrats to @OlympicIRL for another podium and @Quasit and @Cinnamon Bun for bronze (btw. I'm hoping that you still will present us a songs from Latvia and North Macedonia for Festival of Music ) The biggest congrats goes to @Vektor for hosting contest, we all know that it's difficult work and by entire day there wasn't any problems with connection and posting results, great job And thank you to everyone who voted for Polish song, especially @mrv86 and @Vektor for gold medals

Thanks to everyone for participate in one more song contest, @Vektor your job was incredible. The average level of the songs was very good, a very few songs i dont like it. A big thanks for the votes @Wanderer @Cobi @Damian @Henry_Leon @OlympicIRL @Vic Liu @Bohemia @Memo@hckošice @Fly_like_a_don if you pay attention, in the clip of Babasonicos the singer is watching a christian program at very nigth, thats programs are sadly common here and he watch it for fun.

One-on-One Matches This contest isn't about 1v1 matches but I still would like to see what made the difference between the top nations. The tables will show the points difference per nations. For example, if a nation gave Nation A 12 points while they gave Nation B 8 points, they will be seen on the left side of the table with +4 points for Nation A. 1st Spain 160 points v 125 points Ireland 2nd 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 2nd Ireland 125 points v 118 points Great Britain 3rd 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 3rd Great Britain 118 points v 113 points Finland 4th 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 And of course we can't forget about the most important battle. 23rd Czech Republic 69 points v 42 points Slovakia 34th 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 24 n

Charts! I hope you like charts because I got two of them. During the final I posted the summaries of the sessions where I showed you the progression of the Top10. Now you will see something similar for the whole final and for the Top 12 nations because they were the ones that crossed the 100 points line. 12 is a record number of nations to reach 100 points at a contest, it only happened one other time, at the 2018 Annual contest, where we had 41 nations competing. The first chart shows the rankings, the second one the collected points.
