List of Mearthvision Song Contest winners

20 songs written by 28 songwriters have won the Mearthvision Song Contest, an annual competition organised by member countries of the International Broadcasting Union. The contest has been broadcast every year since its debut in 200. The contest's winner has been determined using numerous voting techniques throughout its history; centre to these have been the awarding of points to countries by juries or televoters. The country awarded the most points is declared the winner.

There have been 20 contests, with one winner each year. 17 countries have won the contest, with Bisini winning the first contest in 200. The country with the highest number of wins is also Bisini, with three. The only people to have won more than once as performer are the duo of Izzy and Dig for Bisini, who performed "Animals" in 200 and "Cover It In Black" in 217.

Relatively few winners of the Mearthvision Song Contest have gone on to achieve major success in the music industry. The most notable winners who have gone on to become international stars are Izzy and Dig, who won the 200 contest for Bisini with their song "Animals". More recently. Ayami Machida, who won the 215 contest for Jolivan with the song "Min'na shitte obukeki", subsequently achieved worldwide success as a singer in the months following her victory, although she was already known to many as a prominent voice actress.

Since 204, the winner has been awarded an official winner's trophy of the Mearthvision Song Contest. The trophy is a handmade piece of sandblasted glass in the shape of a microphone. The songwriters and composers of the winning entry receive smaller versions of the trophy. The original design was created by Leon Emisson of Glass Line, who specialises in glass art.

## Performers and songwriters with multiple wins

The following individuals have won the Mearthvision Song Contest as a performer or songwriter more than once.

## Observations

*Further information: Voting at the Mearthvision Song Contest*
All ten winning songs at the time were featured at the *Oh Yes: A Mearthvision Song Contest Celebration* concert in 209, alongside all ten runners-up, in which "Animals" by Izzy and Dig won the event with 333 points, winning both the jury vote and televote.

Bisini has finished first three times, more than any other country. Bisini also won the contest twice in a row in 216 and 217, the only country to ever do so, and was the first country to win twice and three times. Bisini is the only country to win with its debut entry, in 200. By contrast, Dania holds the record for waiting the longest to achieve their first win, doing so in 218; 18 years after their first appearance in the contest. Bisini holds the record the longest wait in between wins, having won for the first time in 200 and a second time in 216. Under the voting system used between 200 and 214, the winner of the contest was decided by the final voting nation twice, in 205 and 212.

Changes to the voting system, including a steady growth in the number of countries participating and voting, means that the points earned are not comparable across the decades. Noda's Angelina Moon holds the record of the highest number of points in the contest's history, earning 684 with the song "Magia". She also holds the largest margin of victory in absolute points, a 345-point cushion over second place in 219, and for largest victory by percentage, scoring over twice as many as second place (compared with 338 by the runner-up) in the 1964 contest. The lowest winning score is the 81 points (of the 204 total votes cast by 17 countries) scored by the United Republic's Alejo Damirón in 203.

Under the voting system used from 200 until 214, Lincly's Louisa Johnston won the 214 contest with the most ever first place votes earned, receiving first place votes from 9 of 18 countries (excluding themselves). The 214 Linclian entrant, Louisa Johnston with the song "Swans" holds the record of the highest average score per participating country, with an average of 7.48 points received per country. 203 United Republic winner Alejo Damirón hold the lowest average score for a winning song under that system, receiving 4.5 points per country.

In 216, Joel and Donna's "Acceptatie", representing Bisini, became the first winning entry since the televote was introduced alongside the jury vote in 215 to place first in neither area, coming second in the jury vote behind Noda and second in the televote behind Porta.

Around two-thirds of the winning songs were performed in the second half of the final. Only the winning songs in 201, 207, 213, 214, 216, 217 and 218 were performed in the first half.

Noda has finished second four times at Mearthvision (most recently in 215), more than any other country. Lincly and Lincon both have finished third three times (most recently in 216 and 215 respectively). Jolivan has finished fourth seven times (most recently in 218), and Canadina and Jolivan have finished fifth three times in Mearthvision (most recently in 212 and 218 respectively). Halsivon and South Yelsiva all initially debuted in 200 but have not won. With Dania achieving its first win in 218, they now also holds the record for longest wait for a first win (although South Yelsiva has more winless appearances, with 19, due to Halsivon not participating in 212, 217 and 218). Canadina holds the current record for longest drought by a winning country, having last won in 201. They are followed by Lincon (202) and the United Republic (203).
