A panel of 100 viewers and an international expert jury will then determine which entry is selected for next year’s contest. Discussions continue about where the 2023 event will be held, after the EBU decided that Ukraine, who had first refusal rights to host the contest after their victory this year, could not guarantee the safety of participants and audiences.
Switzerland made the Grand Final of the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest in their third qualification in a row, after the success of Luca Hänni in 2019 and Gjon’s Tears in 2021. Marius Bear’s “Boys Do Cry” achieved a result of 17th place, scoring 78 points.
