Welcome to Birmingham
"City of a Thousand Trades"
Britain's second-largest city, Birmingham was known as the City of a Thousand Trades and the Workshop of the World in the Victorian era. Today, Brum, as the locals call it, enjoys a 21st-century resurgence as a great shopping and cultural destination. The majority of the city center is now designed for pedestrians, with the historic canals cleaned up to create attractive walkways, which provide easy foot access to most tourist attractions. Renowned for its vibrant nightlife and arguably the best shopping experience outside of London, this modern, forward-looking city manages to retain much of its industrial heritage. For those looking to escape the bustle of the city, the countryside is surprisingly close.

The Result
Countries receiving most 12 points / United Kingdom, 4
Countries giving 12 points to the winner / Niger, Ireland and Sweden
Countries receiving points from most juries/ Mexico, 23
Highest placing country not scoring a top mark / Canada in 11th with 10 points from Lebanon as highest mark
Lowest placing country scoring a top mark / Turkey in 26th, getting 12 points from Canada
About halfway through the voting, Denmark was in a comfortable lead and all excitement seemed to have evaporated. But as you know, it ain't over 'till it's over! Denmark's points started drying up, while other countries gained momentum, and with the second last set of votes, Sweden took the lead, before Denmark reclaimed it with the last jury vote, inching past Sweden with only a single point! Italy took the bronze and Mexico and United Kingdom rounded out the top 5.
Denmark is a founding member of the contest and has not missed a single edition ever! After several top 10 finishes in the early editions, Denmark finised on top for the first time in GM18 with Annika Askman and again shortly after in GM20, when Bryan Rice won his first of three gold medals! He repeated on top in GM51 and together with Julie in GM68. Denmark's other gold medals came courtesy of Kendra Lou in GM28 and Trine Jepsen in GM43, and now The Mountains. Mikkel has been HoD for Denmark throughout all 118 participations, reaching the top 10 a total of 79 times and winning a massive 28 medals! Well done Denmark, The Mountains and Mikkel!
