Please rank your 15 favourites using the 18-point system (18 for your favourite, then 15, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 for your 15th favourite) and send your votes to me (gooddelta) via PM. Do not share your votes with other participants.

All participating nations of BJSC 180 must vote in the final, whether you made the final or not, as failure to vote will result in a ban for BJSC 180. Additionally, if you fail to vote and are in the final then you will receive a 33% deduction. Please vote by 11.59pm (GMT) on Saturday 13th December, and I hope to present the results the following day on Sunday 14th December, with times TBC. If there are any changes I'll let you know.

A final listenthrough will be held during the week - once more, if somebody is able to volunteer to host this then that would be much appreciated as can't guarantee my free evenings this week.

Thanks Pavi, edited into the opening post!

Need to listen some more to the SF2 songs. Thanks for the playlist.

A bit shocked that Teen Angst got only a few votes as this was one of my favourite songs of SF2.

Monday listenthrough?

I wouldn't be able to make the whole listenthrough if it's tomorrow, could do Wednesday though.

13th revealed and 13th spot in the final. Does the double negative mean I’m the lucky charm?

petition to let jakewild vote in the final

Zephyra Continuum votes are in 😉

Thanks very much for the votes in so far, I'm trialling a new scoreboard thing I've made for myself which I'm hoping should make life a bit easier in terms of cross checking etc so am testing it as I get votes in.

Not compulsory if you are in a mega hurry, but if you are able to include the country names you are voting for in your voting PM (and not just song or artist titles), it would make life easier as means a lot less cross checking who sent what 🙏

When is the listen through likely to happen?

Tomorrow evening is most likely looking at discussions, although not sure who is hosting.

I probably won’t make it x

I'm happy to host tomorrow

Mother has voted. Struggled to get it down from a top 20 to top 15! Very strong!
