Big thanks to all of you for your votes! In true ESC 2013 style, the “producers” (FelixK and MartinF) have randomly assigned the finalists to the first and second halves of the show and determined the draw order – which we will use when we preview our grand final in the #esc chat on the evening of Saturday 27 April.

More importantly, the lines are now open for your final votes! You can see the full list of finalists below. Send your votes in ESC style (12, 10, 8…) to vote@esc-chat.com by no later than 23:59 CET on Saturday 27 April. We’re going to try a scoreboard innovation this year, so we’re also asking you to send us a picture to accompany your votes – for more details see below.

And if you do vote, please join us in #esc at 21:00 CET on Sunday 28 April for the grand final, where – as always – you’ll get the chance to read out your verdict and see how the rest of the chatroom has voted!

It’s also time to reveal the scoreboard! This is where your picture comes in. The box in the lower left-hand corner is where it will be displayed. The picture can be a photo of you, a drawing of yourself in Paint or just a fun image that represents you in some way. In any case, please make sure your image can be cropped to this format without a big loss. We’ll edit your file to make it fit into the box, so you don’t have to worry about anything else – but if you want to crop your image by yourself, make it 145 x 90 pixels (or larger, but in the same aspect ratio). Thanks!

And now it’s over to you to help these countries collect some votes! 🙂
