Massive congratulations Serenes and Sean for a fabulous hosting 
Let me get my one BIG JEALOUS moment out of the way first. This is the third time a former Yapo artist gets to take the trophy before Yapo itself goddammit
And this particular time we were juuust pipped to it by one of NSC’s most successful nations (yes, Yapo was also considering Polo & Pan, but for 195. I was torn between Canopée and Ani Kuni, although knowing me, I would’ve picked the non-winner…)
However, what can I say? Serenes is one of my regular favourite nations, and your touching tribute in your victory speech more than makes up for any unnecessary bitter feelings we may have harboured. Thank you for recognising the origins, congratulations again and we can’t wait to join you in Serenes next edition
The motherland is so proud
Thank you also for points for Dimash, including the 12s we got from Cherniya Bigicia and Belvist!! We just squeaked into the final it seems (probably wouldn’t have made it if Ic-Sa-Calli had voted) so that qualification is enough satisfaction for us after 11 editions stuck in the semi (Sakuralia, I’ll have you know that there are a whole batch of us “unlucky nations” in the current era of NSC
A few now on streaks longer than ours).
All in all, a fantastic result to an edition that highlighted everything we love about NSC. My top 4 in the final all prequalified (Serenes, Arirang, TaA, R-D ) and I still have a half-finished detailed list of favourite entries for everyone that I was meaning to post in the semi results!
Will we avenge this victory that so nearly could’ve been our own? (of course not! Yapo never wins trolol)
But I’m just happy to see this song from this wonderful artist win NSC convincingly. Congratulations again Serenes, see you in 195!

I thoroughly enjoyed everything, and you gave it such a unique personal touch. I loved reading the descriptions for each nation and it was such a cool idea to celebrate all of our past entries! You should be proud!
