Broadcasters from different countries submit songs to the event and cast votes to determine the most popular in the competition.

Voting
The voting system used in the contest has been in place since the beginning, and is a positional voting system. Each country awards one set of twelve, ten, eight-one points to their ten favourite songs. Any country who failed to vote in any event is punished by having half of their points halved.

In case of a tie between two or more countries, the country that received the most twelve points wins the tie. However, if the countries received the same number of twelve points, the number of ten points is counted and if they are still tied it goes on until the tie breaks.
