It was a very exciting voting in Gibraltar. Switzerland started off the strongest and took an early lead, before Netherlands, France and Canada took turns leading the pack with the latter ultimately finishing ahead of the rest with a 6 points margin to the runner-up Netherlands. China secured their first medal ever winning the bronze, and South Korea and Greece rounded out the top 5. 

Canada is a founding member of the contest and has been a regular participant through the years, being mostly absent in the early days. They reached the top 10 for the first time in their second participation and top 5 in the third, which was followed by a string of non-qualifications. A new HoD saw better results and within 6 editions - from GM20 to 25 - Canada finished in 2nd place three times! In GM56 - with the current HoD, Luis, in charge - Canada finally went all the way and took home the gold medal, when Melanie Fiona triumphed with the infectious "Monday morning". The closest they have been to a second victory since are 3 bronze medals - the last coming in GM109, but now - 93 editions later - Canada can finally lift the trophy again thanks to Shawn Mendes. This is HoD, Luis's, third gold medal, as he previously also won for his first country, Portugal. Canada has now taken part 135 times, reaching 92 finals, finishing in the top 10 on 38 occasions and taking home 10 medals. Well done Canada, Shawn Mendes and Luis!
