Host of the coming SCC is the Italian OGAE club, following last year’s winner Annalisa with the song “Il mondo prima di te”. Croatia will be represented with the song “Tower of Babylon”, based on the preferences of our members. With a convincing victory at the internal selection, Lorena got her second chance.

The results of the votes closely match the results of the official DORA (Croatian national selection for ESC), with the first three positions in reverse order: first came Lorena and “Tower of Babylon”, second Luka Nižetić and “Brutalero”, while Roko and “The Dream” came third. As all three songs carried very different styles, it seems that the personal music preferences of our membership decided the ranks, yet all were supportive of the DORA’s official outcome.

OGAE Second Chance Contest has been organised by the Eurovision fans since 1987 to give a second chance to the songs that didn’t make it to the ESC, but deserve to be noticed, as seen by the fans. The Contest is held digitally via internet and social networks and the same rules apply as in the official ESC.

Our past selections and results can be found here.
