Song Contest Simulator: Realistic Voting, Your Rules
Have you ever wanted to run your own song contest and see how the results might unfold?
Song Contest Simulator was created to make that possible.
The app is designed to simulate a Eurovision-style competition as realistically as possible, from the participating countries and semi-finals to jury voting, public voting, qualification, and the final scoreboard. At the same time, it gives you the freedom to change the rules and create the kind of contest you want to experience.
A realistic contest experience
Song Contest Simulator combines jury and public voting to create results with variation, surprises, and changing expectations. Countries can perform differently depending on the voting round, and the final outcome is not predetermined.
You can follow the contest step by step:
- Prepare the entries.
- Review the pre-contest odds.
- Reveal the semi-final allocation.
- Run the semi-final voting.
- See which countries qualify.
- Continue to the Grand Final.
- Watch the jury and public votes shape the final result.
The goal is to make every simulation feel like a real contest night, with favorites, unexpected qualifiers, close results, and a winner that is not always obvious from the beginning.
Your contest, your rules
Realism is important, but every fan has their own idea of what makes a great song contest. That is why the simulator is designed to be customizable.
Depending on the format you want to create, you can adjust elements such as:
- the participating countries and entries;
- the number of finalists;
- the semi-final structure;
- automatic or manual qualification;
- jury and public voting settings;
- voting groups and scoring formats;
- the way the Grand Final is organized.
You can create a contest that follows a familiar Eurovision-style format, or experiment with your own rules and ideas.
Explore the 2026 entries
The 2026 Picker lets you rank and compare the entries before running a full simulation. You can explore the field, make your own predictions, and see how your personal ranking compares with the simulated odds.
It is a simple way to enjoy the entries even when you are not ready to run a complete contest.
Built for fans and friendly competition
Song Contest Simulator can be used in different ways. You can run a contest by yourself, compare your predictions with friends, create an alternative version of a real contest, or design a completely fictional competition.
The simulator is not intended to predict the real-world result. Instead, it provides a structured and entertaining way to explore what might happen when different entries, voters, and contest formats come together.
