​​Welcome to ankara
"fabled past and prosperous future"

Welcome to Ankara, the vibrant capital of Turkey, where ancient history meets modern sophistication, and where each corner of the city tells a unique tale of a nation's rich heritage and progress. Begin your journey in the heart of Ankara at Atatürk's Mausoleum, Anıtkabir, a majestic monument dedicated to the founding father of modern Turkey. As you ascend its grand staircase, you'll feel the weight of history and the promise of a dynamic future. Ankara's historic old town, Ulus, transports you back in time with its charming streets, Ottoman-era architecture, and bustling markets. Explore the Hacı Bayram Mosque, where centuries of devotion have left their mark, and sample traditional Turkish sweets in the narrow alleys. Ankara's cultural diversity is on full display at the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations, home to an extraordinary collection of artifacts that narrate the story of Anatolia from prehistoric times to the present. The Ethnography Museum provides insight into the rich tapestry of Turkish culture. The city's culinary scene invites you to savor the flavors of Turkey. Indulge in kebabs, mezes, and baklava at local restaurants, and don't forget to sip on authentic Turkish tea while enjoying the city's vibrant street life. Ankara's natural beauty shines in the city's parks and green spaces. The Gençlik Park, with its serene lake and lively fairground, offers a place to relax and unwind. Venture into the lush Atatürk Forest Farm and Zoo for a taste of the countryside within the city. For art enthusiasts, the CerModern Arts Center and the Contemporary Arts Center showcase the creativity and innovation of Turkish artists, while the Presidential Symphony Orchestra fills the air with classical melodies. As the sun sets, Ankara's vibrant nightlife awaits. Explore the city's bars, cafes, and live music venues, where locals and visitors come together to celebrate the night in style. Ankara invites you to discover its rich blend of history, culture, and modernity. Whether you're a history buff, a foodie, or an art lover, Ankara promises a captivating experience that will immerse you in the soul of Turkey.

The Result

Countries receiving most 12 points / United Kingdom, 4
Countries giving 12 points to the winner / Poland and Brazil
Countries receiving points from most juries / Australia, 22
Highest placing country not scoring a top mark / Iceland in 4th with 10 points from Greece, Algeria, Italy and Bulgaria as highest mark
Lowest placing country scoring a top mark / South Korea in 25th, getting 12 points from Vietnam

Australia took the lead after the first 6 juries and then never looked back. Receiving points from 22 of the 34 other juries, with 7 of these placing the song in the top 3, Australia easily claimed gold for the third time. Denmark won the silver, and Turkey took home the bronze. Iceland and Iraq rounded out the top 5.

Australia was the first country from Oceania to join Global Music and made their debut in GM04 and quickly became very successful, winning their first medal on their 6th attempt and their first trophy in their 10th participation, when Delta Goodrem finished on top. Another 5 medals followed, before Guy Sebastian and Jordin Sparks could claim victory for Australia again in GM49. Lately, their success has deminished a little though and you have to go back to GM51 to find their last medal, and they haven't been in the top ten since GM69. However, now Australia makes a big comeback finishing on top for the third time. To date Australia has participated 62 times, been in the final 53 times, finished in the top 10 on 25 occasions and won 10 medals including 3 of gold. Alpay, HoD for Australia, joined Global Music in GM82 and only needed 3 attempts to win a gold medal. Well done Samantha Jade, Australia and Alpay!
