The Result

Countries receiving most 12 points / Iceland, 4
Countries giving 12 points to the winner / Slovenia and Macedonia
Countries receiving points from most juries / Spain, 16

Though debuting Uzbekistan took the first top mark, it quickly became a battle between Monaco and Greece, and halfway through the voting, Greece pulled ahead and kept the lead until the end. In the end, though they only finished 1 point ahead of Spain, with debuting Iceland taking home the bronze medal. Uzbekistan and Sweden rounded out the top 5.

Greece was one of the founding members of the contest, but only competed in every other edition for the first 5 editions. This is thus their 5th participation, and in the first 4, they finished in the top 10 three times, though never higher than 9th place until now. Well done Greece, Antique and Vasilis!
