That would be very nice I will try my best to post the updated standing of the Team Challenge after every jury's votes.

The Host Jury would still like if one or more users could help updating the standing of the TISC Team Challenge during the Grand Final.

Only one hour left until the 2019 TOISC Grand Final begins! Some Australian fans have found their way to Odense. Here are some outside Arena Fyn: A good delegation of Dutch fans are also here today in Arena Fyn:

So I just came home after a good night out with my friends, and Séamus, in downtown Odense. It's 05:00 am here in Denmark and in 7 hours the Grand Final starts. I think it would be a good idea to set an alarm, just in case. I hope you are all ready for tomorrow´s Grand Final? I am, hopefully.

Some would argue their outfits sexualise women more than the necassary.

Here some examples from my city The biggest controversy is the famous "nissepiger". They come to the bars with beers, but their outfits are a bit special...

I'm also happy about that, as it is today the Christmas beers of the big brands are released in Denmark. I can get up to 5 free beers the first hour at my local bar, but I'm not going to stop after that. I think I'm going to regret this tomorrow...

As we reach the last stop on our journey... We have come to the end of the Opening Ceremony for TOISC 2019, and as a TISC-tradition prescribes, the scoreboard for this edtion of TISC will now be presented.

We will sing a song many Danes consider the unoffical national song, "I Danmark er jeg født", written by Denmark's and Odense's own author, H.C. Andersen. Thanks to all who took their time to follow the Opening Ceremony. We hope many of you will be with us tomorrow when the 2019 TOISC Grand Final will begin at 12:00 (CET). Goodnight and let us all sing-along! Lyrics:

2019 TOISC Logo The logo for TOISC 2019 can finally be revealed! The Host Jury will be honest and say it has not been easy to come to this final product, due to the lack of any creative sense from the members of the Host Jury with regards to designing a logo. The Host Jury has had many struggles throughout the process due to many unconstructed ideas. With all of this said, it's only suitable to thank the amazing @vinipereira and his magical skills when it comes to logo designs. It would have never been possible to create a logo without your help. A big thank you, @vinipereira, from the bottom of the members of the Host Jury's hearts. The colour scheme of the logo is inspired by the colours in the Totallympics' logo and the host country, Denmark. The font should have symbolized the historic focus the host jury has had in this TISC, but it symbolizes something more of a Disney aesthetics. The D in particular has been a talking point, as it screams Disney. However, in an afterthought, it is quite fitting to have something which is more Disney inspired, as one of Denmark's most renowned authors Hans Christian Andersen's work, "The Little Mermaid", is a classic disney tale. The two singing birds illustrate the many different musical styles, genres and cultures TISC embody, as all songs in each single edition of TISC create their own unique "note" for that specific edition of TISC.

The Oaths of TISC Competitors' Oath Eros Ramazzotti, Italy "In the name of all competitors, I promise that we shall take part in this Contest, respecting and abiding by the rules that govern TISC - committing ourselves to a competition that values respect and the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of music and the honor of our nations!" Jury Members' Oath Fly_like_a_don, India "In the name of all the jury members, I promise that we shall adjudicate in our deliberations at this Contest with complete impartiality, respecting and abiding by the rules which govern TISC in the true spirit of sportsmanship!" Hosts' Oath Agger and Wumo, Denmark "We promise that we shall organize this Contest, respecting and abiding by the rules that govern TISC - committing ourselves to overseeing a competition that values respect and promotes the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of music and the honor of our nations!"

Historical notes Folk songs and stories in Denmark have been widely used to tell stories about heroes' achievements and the life of king and queens in the Middle ages, but also about what consequences the common people's actions could have on their life. The former TISC participant, Myrkur, will sing two tales. The first one is a Danish folk song from the late 1500s about Queen Dagmar (wife of Valdemar Sejr). She was known as the Queen of the people because she wished her husband, the king, would lower taxes for the farmers and free the many prisoners who were held in castle dungeons. She allegedly died giving birth in her bed, around age 23. Afterwards she will sing about a man named Ramund. A man who goes to battle with the Jætter/trolls and then sails to the emperor to take his daughter to marry and then decapitates the emperor. Lastly, we will present the folk group, Virelai. They will sing about a common woman, Agnete, who is lured by a beautiful merman to the bottom of the sea. However, the merman was a test of Agnete's faith to her husband. As a consequence of her action, she is forced to live the rest of her life on the bottom of the sea with no possibility to see her children and husband again.

Funen has much to experience What cultural and natural experiences can the birthplace of Denmark's most celebrated author, H. C. Andersen, might offer? Let us take you a tour around the island.

Follow in Denmark's historical footsteps Music is often accompanied by dance. Historically, music and dance are very integrated parts of the Danish cultural history. Folk and traditional dance has played an important cultural role for many common people throughout Danish history as a way of celebrating important life events and create strong social bonds inside the small communities.

Welcome to Odense and Funen! For the first time in TISC's History, Odense has the honour as host city. Odense has done its best to prepare for this big event, but the city of Odense could not have achieved this alone. Many people from the rest of Funen have contributed to make this possible. We want to show what Funen and Odense can offer those who visit this beautiful, hilly, green island which is placed in the heart of Denmark.
