OGAE SONG CONTEST 2025 - TORINO 2025

What is the OGAE Song Contest?

The OGAE Song Contest is one of the oldest and most prestigious competitions within the international network of Eurovision fan clubs. Unlike national selections and the Eurovision Song Contest itself, the rule is clear in this competition – the song must not have any connection to Eurovision or national selections. This way, the competition focuses exclusively on promoting current music productions and artists, giving the audience a chance to discover the most popular and highest-quality hits from each country.

Representatives are chosen by a vote of the national OGAE club members, which makes the competition a true reflection of the musical trends and tastes of Eurovision fans across Europe and beyond. This is why the OGAE Song Contest is often called the „Eurovision without Eurovision.“

The competition has been held continuously since 1986, and was only cancelled in 2022 due to the war in Ukraine. The rules state that songs must have been released in the current or previous year, and the maximum length is five minutes.

The host of the current edition is OGAE Italy, as this section won the competition last year. The popular singer Annalisa triumphed with the song Euforia„, which collected an impressive 197 points in the final.

OGAE Serbia has been participating regularly in this competition since 1999 and has achieved a number of notable results. In the last edition, our country was represented by Aleksandra Prijović with the hitDam Dam Dam and among a field of over twenty countries, she took 15th place with a total of 34 points.
