FSC 110

We are hosted by the United Kingdom for the 110th edition of the Forum Song Contest. They have chosen the unique and isolated location of Pitcairn Island as the hosting location for this edition. This is due in fact to the British victory in FSC 109 with Calum Scott and 'You are the reason'.
The number of participants increases slightly, to 32, due to the return of Hungary and the USA to the competition, while Latvia has decided to withdraw.
All participating countries voted, and the United States was crowned as the winner, with only a one point margin over Poland in second place. Third place went to the United Kingdom.
== The Host Location ==
The Pitcairn Islands are a group of four islands (Pitcairn, Henderson, Ducie and Oeno) located in the South Pacific, and are a British Overseas Territory. Of the four islands, only Pitcairn Island is inhabited, and the only settlement is the unofficial capital, Adamstown. With a population of only 56 (50 permanent inhabitants, plus 6 non-permanent), Pitcairn is the least populated national jurisdiction in the world. 
It is also one of the most isolated places in the world, and with no airport or harbour, it can only be reached via a 32-hour journey by ship from Mangareva in French Polynesia. As there is no place for ships to dock, passengers and goods alike are then rowed by longboat to the only landing in Bounty Bay, just below Adamstown.
Today, the 56 inhabitants of Pitcairn lead a quiet and idyllic life, although everybody has more than one part-time job to the fulfill the needs of the community. Tropical fruits and vegetables are grown, and supplemented by fishing. Honey is also produced and exported. Furthermore, handicrafts like carvings are also produced. Tourism has recently become important, with residents offering home-stays to small groups of visitors.
Adamstown is located in the valley above Bounty Bay, and the "Central Square" is the centre of town, where Islanders meet when visiting ships arrive, for feasts, and birthdays. The square houses the salvaged anchor from HMS Bounty, as well as the ship's bell, which is still used to call to residents when ships arrive. The village has one General Store, where residents and visitors can stock up on supplies, as well as a bar called Christian's Cafe. The only church is the Seventh-Day Adventists, with 8 people regularly attending, although all residents will attend for special occasions. The only primary school on Pitcairn, Pulau school, has one teacher and eight pupils from two families. Children above the age of 13 are sent to high school in New Zealand. Other amenities include a police station with one temporary officer, and a health centre with one temporary resident doctor, and a small museum.
