Llongyfarchiadau Latfia! Congratulations Latvia!

Congratulations to the winners of the Tmblrvision Song Contest 2023: Latvia and Bermudu Divstūris & Auļi with the song "Līgava"! Congratulations for winning both the jury and the audience vote!

Also, congratulations to this year's winning Head of Delegation, @itscrazy-itsparty!

Let's welcome back to the stage Bermudu Divstūris & Auļi to perform their winner's reprise!

(The audio for this particular performance isn't great, so if you're more interested in the audio, then you can view the original music video instead.)

Here's a video recap of this year's overall Top Ten!

A huge THANK YOU to @strawbanya for providing the recap, as well as to @escape-radio for all the jury postcard graphics as well as the templates for the winner and split-screen graphics!

Here’s the full final scoreboard, including the jury and audience vote split for each entry:

Before we go, here's some footage from the celebrations in Latvia for their victory!

SEE YOU NEXT YEAR IN LATVIA FOR TMBLRVISION 2024!

Audience Vote Part 17: France and Latvia

It all comes down to this. The last two countries to receive their points from the audience. Soon, we will find out who is the winner of Tmblrvision 2023!

Results for the jury's top two will be revealed right now, so by the end of this, we will know who the winner is.

We're good to go. Let's take it away, starting with...

...France. From the audience vote, you received...

That's more than enough to pass Spain and take the lead overall!

While that may not be enough to win the audience vote, could it be enough for CHÉRI to win overall anyway?

It's time to find out. Let's take a look at out two potential winners:

One of these is your winner for Tmblrvision 2023.

CONGRATULATIONS LATVIA!

You have won both the jury and audience votes, and while it was close, it was enough to seal the victory!

Bermudu Divstūris & Auļi, you are the winners of Tmblrvision 2023! Come to the stage to claim your trophy and perform your winner's reprise!

[tmblrvision]

Audience Vote Part 16: Spain

We only have three more audience vote results to reveal, and soon after, we will know who has won Tmblrvision 2023! So let's start with the third placer with the juries, Spain.

Spain, you received...

...121 points! Congratulations!

With that, Spain takes the lead from Hungary with only two entries left to receive their points! This means Spain will finish on the podium overall, congratulations!

Spain also takes a narrow lead in the audience scoreboard and guarantees a podium finish there, too!

We're down to three. Two still need to get their audience vote scores.

Who wins?

[tmblrvision]

Only Four Remain in the Running to Win Tmblrvision 2023!

With only three more audience vote results to be revealed, we're down to four contenders for the win.

Hungary became the first and thus far only entry to pass the 200-point mark and currently occupy the top spot. Is that enough for Tóth Gabi and her dancers Fricska to hold off the three challengers behind them?

Latvia won the jury vote with the most douzes and the second-most number of juries voting for them. Will that translate to a strong result with the audience and a win for Bermudu Divstūris & Auļi?

France has been a strong contender for the jury win when the results were being announced and kept it relatively close until the end. Will the audience vote help CHÉRI close the gap and hand them the win?

Spain returned to Tmblrvision after hosting but not participating and ended up with the bronze medal from the juries. Will Guitarricadelafuente be rewarded with a win as a triumphant return to the competition?

With these four contenders, we're also guaranteed a non-English language winner, which would be the third in the history of the contest!

We also now know which entries will finish on the left and right sides of the overall scoreboard, and we know 9 of the 10 which will finish in the Top Ten overall.

Will all three of the jury podium break the 100-point mark with the audience vote?

Will it be a close race at the top, or will we have a dominant winner?

It's almost time to find out who wins. We'll start clearing away the mystery with... Spain.

Audience Vote Part 15: Croatia

Croatia was voted for by the most national juries. Is that a good sign when it comes to their audience vote results?

Croatia, you received...

...95 points!

It's not enough to topple Hungary off the top spot, or break the 200-point barrier, but it's enough for provisional second and a guarantee of finishing in the Top Five overall! Congratulations!

Croatia will also finish in the Top Five of the audience vote, congratulations!

We're down to the podium finishers of the jury vote. Who will win Tmblrvision 2023?

[tmblrvision]

Audience Vote Part 14: Hungary

We now move on to the Top Five of the jury vote. All five entries breached the 100-point mark with the national juries, which puts them in a good position to take it all. It all comes down to how they did with the audience.

First up: Hungary.

Hungary, you received...

...114 points! Congratulations!

That puts Hungary well clear at the top position! This also guarantees a Top Five finish overall! Congratulations!

Hungary is also the first entry to pass the 100-point mark with the audience vote! It's a high bar that they've set, can the jury's four favorite songs pass it?

Let's find out, starting with Croatia.

[tmblrvision]

Audience Vote Part 13: Italy

Italy finished just outside the Top Five with the national juries. Will they be able to make up the difference with a good score with the audience?

Italy, from the audience vote, you received...

...73 points!

This currently puts them on the podium, though thanks to tiebreaker rules, this does not allow them to pass Australia for first. With only five more countries yet to receive points, this also confirms Italy's placement in the overall Top Ten! Congratulations!

Provisional 4th with five to go also confirms Italy has finished in the Top Ten with the audience vote! Congratulations!

We move on to the Top Five of the juries.

[tmblrvision]

Audience Vote Part 12: Türkiye

Türkiye finished a strong seventh with the juries. Let's see how the audience voted by revealing their score.

Türkiye, you received...

With only four countries currently below them on the scoreboard which have yet to receive their points from the audience, this confirms that Türkiye will finish in the Top Ten overall! Congratulations!

Next up: Italy.

[tmblrvision]

Audience Vote Part 11: Norway

Up next is Norway, which finished 8th with the juries. It's time to reveal their fate with the audience.

Norway, from the audience vote, you received...

...36 points.

Here's a reminder that in case of a tie in the overall ranking, the tiebreaker is the audience vote result. In the event of a tie in the audience vote, the first tiebreaker is number of voters for each entry involved in the tie, followed by running order.

There's no time to take more than a quick breather after that result, as we move on to the next entry, Türkiye.

[tmblrvision]

Audience Vote Part 10: Belgium

We now move on to Belgium, which placed 9th with the national juries. How have they done with the audience?

Belgium, from the audience vote, you received...

...59 points.

That moves them to fifth place overall provisionally, and a good shot at staying in the Top Ten after all audience scores are revealed! Congratulations!

Only eight countries have yet to find out their audience vote results. Wales remains on top so far but how long will it last?

We move on to Norway.

[tmblrvision]

Audience Vote Part 9: Switzerland

Switzerland finished in the Top Ten with the juries. Did they also do well with the audience?

The audience vote scoreboard looks like this at the moment:

[tmblrvision]

Audience Vote Part 8: Australia

Australia finished just outside the jury's Top Ten. Now they've finished in the audience's Top Ten. Will they find themselves at or near the top of the scoreboard?

...89 points! Congratulations!

That's enough for Australia to take provisional first place, with ten songs left to receive their scores from the audience!

They do finish behind Wales in the audience vote, though.

Now we move on to those who finished in the Top Ten with the juries. Which of those also made it to the Top Ten with the audience, and which failed to make an impact?

We start with the jury's tenth place entry, Switzerland.

[tmblrvision]

Audience Vote Part 7: Lithuania

Lithuania finished 16th in the jury vote, so it may not be too surprising to see them finish in the audience's Top Ten. Can they beat Wales (and, well, everyone else still left)?

While that's not enough to pass the provisional Top Three, it's still an impressive total!

Lithuania is currently on the podium with the audience vote.

Up next is the last country that was outside the jury's Top Ten that we know for sure is in the Top Ten with the audience. How will Australia do?

[tmblrvision]

Audience Vote Part 6: Wales

It's time to move on to our host country. Dreams of a back-to-back win seemed slim as they finished just outside the top half of the jury, however a sliver of a chance has once again returned now that we know that they're in the audience's Top Ten.

Wales, from the audience vote, you received...

That allows Wales to move into provisional first place overall, to the loud approval of the Cardiff crowd!

This sets a high bar for the remaining twelve countries whose points have yet to be revealed. Let's see where Lithuania fits in to that audience vote Top Ten...

[tmblrvision]

Audience Vote Part 5: Portugal

Portugal has been waiting for their points for a long time. They were part of the first group of points to be revealed but the announcement of their actual score has been delayed twice now. How far on the scoreboard will they be zooming up?

Once again, from now on, the gap between announcements is down to two minutes.

That moves Portugal all the way up from 30th to 5th in the current scoreboard!

Portugal takes first place for now. Up next: Our host country, Wales!

[tmblrvision]

Audience Vote Results For 18 Countries Have Been Revealed

All that's left to reveal are the points from those that finished in the jury's Top Ten, as well as four countries outside of that which were revealed to be in the audience's Top Ten.

This is the overall scoreboard so far:

Latvia and France remain in the top two spots, while Finland has snuck in to a podium slot so far. However, with 14 countries left to receive their points, there's zero guarantee that that's where they'll end up by the end.

It's interesting to note that having four songs outside the jury's Top Ten landing in the audience's Top Ten means four of the jury's favorites will land outside the audience's top rankings, which could mean a huge shakeup in the scoreboard.

Here's what the audience scoreboard looks like so far:

We will slowly see more songs pushed to that right side. Also note what seems to be the threshold for reaching the Top Ten with the audience vote.

The result will be announced in three minutes and after that, the gap goes down to two minutes, because we’ll be revealing the points one at a time in reverse order of the jury vote rankings of the remaining entries, starting from Portugal and ending with Latvia.

[tmblrvision]

Audience Vote Part 4: 16 to 11

Now that we've seen the audience points for nearly every entry that finished on the right side of the jury scoreboard - apart from those which landed in the Top Ten of the audience vote - it's time to move to the left side of that scoreboard. Let's reveal the points received by songs which made it to the top half of the jury ranking but landed just outside the Top Ten.

Just like in the previous announcement, if any entry here has finished in the audience Top Ten, then that will be highlighted and their score will be revealed later on.

Let's start with 16th place in the jury vote, Lithuania.

Lithuania, you...

Let's see how these scores affect the overall scoreboard:

Finland, Ukraine, and Algeria all move up to the Top Five. Finland is ahead of Ukraine thanks to tiebreaker rules (higher audience rank breaks any ties overall).

And how does the audience scoreboard look?
