Get ready to vote

The Eurovision audience have one very important job – voting. If you want to see your favourite take the trophy, then here's what you need to do.

You can cast your vote by phone, SMS or the Eurovision Song Contest app . The choice is yours.

The app is available on iOS, Android and Windows devices, and is packed full of brilliant content. Think live updates, your own personal rankings board, and access to fresh stories. And the pièce de résistance – if you vote through the app, you'll receive a video message from your favourite artist. Voilà!

If you're in a participating country and are planning to vote on the phone or through SMS, the numbers you need will be on the screen during the broadcasts and at www.esc.vote – just don't try and vote once the lines have closed. Even with the power of Eurovision, you cannot change the past.

And remember – you cannot vote for your own country. No matter how brilliant they are.

If your country isn't competing in Eurovision (yet), we still need you. You can vote for your favourite on the Eurovision app or on the Eurovision Song Contest voting hub .

How to vote in the Semi-Finals

That was the easy bit. Here's where you need to concentrate.

Participating countries

If your country is competing in Eurovision, you can only vote in the Semi-Final in which they're performing. That includes Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, who are automatically through to the Grand Final, but who are assigned a specific Semi-Final. Check out who's competing in the First Semi-Final and the Second Semi-Final , and see who your country is up against.

For the Semi-Finals, voting opens after the last song has been performed. You can vote up to 20 times, and you'll have around 18 minutes. Use your power wisely.

Non-participating countries

Things are a little different for the Rest of The World. The voting window will open at approximately midnight on the day of each Semi-Final, and will stay open until the live shows begin. Voting is then paused while the artists compete, and will re-open once the last song has been performed. You'll then have around 18 minutes to cast your final votes.

How to vote in the Grand Final

Whether your favourites made it through the Semi-Finals or not, there's nothing quite like the Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final. Now's the time to brush up on the Eurovision voting procedure, so you can spend the big night concentrating on what matters most – high notes, pyro effects, and arguing about who has the best costume.

Participating countries

For countries participating in Eurovision, voting will open just before the first song is performed. It will stay open right through the performances, and for approximately 40 minutes after the last song. Plenty of time to settle on a few favourites – and if you can't choose (or you really, really like one act) you can vote up to 20 times.

Non-participating countries

Just like in the Semi-Finals, the voting window for viewers in non-participating countries will open online at approximately midnight on the day of the Grand Final, and close briefly when the live show begins.

You won't have long to wait, as voting will open up again just before the first song is performed. It will then stay open through the live show until around 40 minutes after the last competing song.

Now that you're clued up, all that's left to do is perfect your scoreboard on the Eurovision Song Contest app , and count down the days until the 69th Eurovision Song Contest.
