Savor traditional Norwegian dishes like gravlaks (cured salmon) and hearty kjøttkaker (meatballs), paired with aquavit or local craft beer. Experience the vibrant food markets, where Nordic flavors and international cuisine await. Nature enthusiasts will find solace in Oslo's pristine parks and green spaces. The Vigeland Park, adorned with over 200 captivating sculptures by Gustav Vigeland, is a serene oasis in the heart of the city. Nearby, the vast Nordmarka forest offers endless hiking and skiing trails, perfect for escaping into the wilderness. Oslo is a city of festivals and events that celebrate music, art, and culture. From the Oslo Jazz Festival to the Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony, the city's cultural calendar is a testament to its vibrant spirit. Whether you're an explorer, an art lover, a foodie, or simply seeking a serene Scandinavian escape, Oslo has something to offer everyone. Come and immerse yourself in the magic of this captivating city, where every street corner holds a story waiting to be uncovered.

The Result

Countries receiving most 12 points / Australia, 5
Countries giving 12 points to the winner / Finland, Russia, USA, Puerto Rico and Norway
Countries receiving points from most juries / Australia, 19
Highest placing country not scoring a top mark / Andorra in 6th place with 10 points from Australia as highest mark
Lowest placing country scoring a top mark / Belgium in 23rd place getting 12 points from Japan

Though Ireland and Germany put up a fight in the beginning, after the 7th jury Australia took the lead and never looked back. Not only did Australia win by the largest margin recorded so far in GM history, they also achieved the highest score ever. Those records now stand at 40 and 149 points respectively. In a distant second place, Germany took home the silver and the bronze went to host country Norway. Ireland and Poland rounded out the top 5.

Australia debuted in GM04, sending Delta Goodrem as their first participant. They reached the top ten on their second attempt in GM06 and took home the first medal - a silver medal for Kylie Minogue - in GM11. As they couldn't follow up on this, Australia quit a few editions later, and did not return until Zack as new HoD brought them back last edition, reaching the top 10. And now in Australia's 10th participation they claim gold for the very first time with Delta Goodrem, who at the same time becomes the first artist to win GM twice! She also won for Ireland in GM13. Well done Australia, Delta Goodrem and Zack!
