​​Welcome to Oslo
​"Architectural Innovation"

Welcome to Oslo, the vibrant capital of Norway, where natural beauty, rich history, and modern innovation converge to create an extraordinary experience. This enchanting city, nestled between the Oslofjord and lush forests, invites you to embark on a journey through its iconic landmarks, cultural treasures, and serene landscapes. Oslo's waterfront is a breathtaking masterpiece of nature and architecture. Stroll along the revitalized Aker Brygge and Tjuvholmen districts, where modern art installations and upscale dining establishments blend seamlessly with the picturesque harbor. The Oslo Opera House, a stunning piece of contemporary design, rises like a white iceberg from the fjord, offering visitors the unique experience of walking on its rooftop. The city's cultural richness is celebrated in its world-class museums and galleries. Immerse yourself in the works of Norwegian and international artists at the Munch Museum or explore the captivating Viking Ship Museum, home to remarkably preserved Viking vessels. The National Gallery houses iconic masterpieces, including Edvard Munch's "The Scream." Oslo's culinary scene is a culinary delight. 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. Oslo is not just a destination; it's an invitation to embrace the essence of Norway's capital.

The Result

Countries receiving most 12 points / Denmark, 4
Countries giving 12 points to the winner / Brazil, Denmark and Armenia
Countries receiving points from most juries / Germany, 19
Highest placing country not scoring a top mark / Nigeria in 6th with 10 points from Netherlands, Poland, San Marino and Spain as highest marks
Lowest placing country scoring a top mark / Cuba in 23rd, getting 12 points from Bosnia-Herzegovina

This was almost Germany's game from start to finish. They did not lead the whole way through, but when they took the lead for the second time after 11 juries, they never looked back. In the end the winning margin was a very solid 24 points. United Kingdom took the silver after a string of bad results, and United States went home with the bronze. Nigeria and San Marino rounded out the top 5, and it was Nigeria's best result ever. Armenia just squeezed into the top 10 for the first time.

Germany is one of the founding members of Global Music and has to date competed 48 times, reaching 42 finals with 24 top 10 finishes. They didn't have the smoothest start to their GM career, as they only inched into the top 10 twice in their first 7 attempts. Things quickly turned around though, and Germany won GM10 with Sarah Connor and took the silver only 9 editions later. From GM24 on through GM39 they won another 5 medals and reached the top 10 on a further 7 occasions! And now, 44 editions after their first triumph, Germany finishes on top for the second time thanks to Mehrzad Marashi and Sandro, who has been HoD for Germany since GM19. Well done Germany, Mehrzad Marashi and Sandro!
