The Result

Countries receiving points from most juries / Turkey, 21
Highest placing country not scoring a top mark / Denmark in 9th place with 10 points from Norway and Monaco as highest marks

An exciting voting procedure gave us a new leader with almost every single jury with Netherlands and Cyprus taking turns in the lead for the most part. Towards the end Turkey came on strongly, taking the lead, but in the end Cyprus pushed ahead to take the gold medal on their debut. Turkey won the silver and Netherands took home the bronze medal. United Kingdom and Norway rounded out the top 5.
There is no better way to debut than this! It was Cyprus' first participation, but their artist, Anna Vissi, took the Global Music stage for the third time, having previously finished 9th twice for Greece. Well done Cyprus, Anna Vissi and new player Konstantinos!
