Welcome to the grand final results of BJSC 173! It's been a pleasure welcoming you back to Kluminican Republic after 10 years since we last hosted back in BJSC 81. It's been an excellent final and I will shortly be revealing how you have all done and who has come out on top this month!

A special thanks goes to Leww who has created all the graphics for the contest this month, it's been lovely to see all the wonderful feedback over his designs and wanted to make sure you knew who was responsible for these beautiful creations!

We have received votes from every nation bar Cadelicia. Aesthetica, New Lexico, Oslol and Summericia's entries will be subject to a 15% deduction due to voting after the deadline. We also have votes from Lotunia, but due to not qualifying for the final this month, will not receive any further penalty.

Before we kick things off shortly, we'd like to present your current reigning champion to perform their song one last time, here's Amelie Lens maybe featuring Rose Grey !!!

I don’t recognize the color allocations :kink: what does it mean?! Is there any hidden message etc etc
