FSC 83

January 2016 sees the 83rd edition of Forum Song Contest (FSC), held in the city of Utrecht in the Netherlands - thanks to Causes and their song "To the River" who won the preceding edition. 
31 countries participated in this edition, the same number as in December 2015. Actually all the juries who joined FSC 82 were also present in January 2016. 
Estonia won FSC 83 - exactly 20 editions after their last victory in FSC 63. Just like then the artist of the winning entry was Grete Paia, whose song "Püüame droone" won with a margin of 24 points. Grete Paia thus became the fourth artist to win FSC twice, after Tom Dice, Within Temptation and Ella Henderson. Russia earned the silver medal while Sweden placed third. On the other side of the table the Philippines again only escaped the last place "thanks" to two non-voters: Belgium and Slovenia (that were subsequently moved down the scoreboard).
