STOP THE COUNT! Award
As we step into the TISC week, with the Grand Final to be held in Poland on Saturday, April 17th, it is time to complete our tour of the TISC Special Awards. There are three different Special Awards in total. The J'en Suis La Award and the Passionfruit Award have been introduced in 2018 as part of the 10th edition Jubilee legacy, while the newly formed STOP THE COUNT! Award got first celebrated in the Netherlands last year.
While nobody really aims (or wants) to claim these awards, they do serve their purpose within the TISC festivities, if nothing else to remind us all of the exciting Grand Final journeys that the various award recipients have experienced. Today, we will revisit the STOP THE COUNT! Award...
The STOP THE COUNT! Award is quite simply reserved for the last non-winning leader of a given contest. In an unlikely scenario where the eventual winner leads from start to finish, the award will be left unclaimed.
The only STOP THE COUNT! Award presented so far was received by Canada at the 2020 Open. Their entry Rude (by MAGIC!) wished the Grand Final had stopped after the Vote #14, as it was the last time they were able to hold Serbia at bay...
