Grand Final – May 13th 2023
As host country and the previous winner, the United Kingdom and Ukraine have already drawn their positions in the running order for the Grand Final at the Heads of Delegation meeting, which took place on March 13th 2023. The draw was done randomly to ensure complete fairness with the placements – Ukraine’s Head of Delegation pulled the UK’s position from a bowl which included all positions available to perform in (1-26), and the UK’s HoD did the same for Ukraine.
The result of the draw see’s Ukraine perform in 19th, whilst the UK will close the show in 26th.
The rest of the Big 5 (Germany, France, Italy and Spain) will draw their running order halves at their rehearsal press conferences in May.
