Our Eurovision 12

Season 12 of Our Eurovision took place in Thessaloniki, Greece, after Greece won Season 11 with Marina and The Diamonds and her song "Froot".

40 songs were entered into this season, the lowest number since Season 2. Those 40 songs represented a total of 23 countries. Despite the low number, 6 countries returned to the contest. A record 34 countries withdrew, however.

This was a Eurovision season. As of Season 17, this was the last Eurovision season. The main theme for this season was songs before 2000. All competing songs had to have been Eurovision songs from before 2000, and winning songs were not allowed. As usual, the songs were split into 2 semi finals, and 12 songs qualified from each.

The winning song this season came from Turkey. Turkey sent their 1997 song: "Dinle" by Şebnem Paker & Grup Ethnic. They scored 114 points. This was a very close victory; Turkey won by just 2 points. The runner-up this season was Luxembourg, represented by Lara Fabian and her song "Croire". She scored 112 points. The winning jury this season was Vlad, and the 2nd place jury was Philo.

Just like Season 9, even though juries chose the songs, the season was 100% televote.
