Tabitha Edison (TE): Welcome back to the Festival of Musical Arts in Terra at the Riverside Arena in Fort William. In the first half of tonight’s broadcast, we saw ten brilliant artists perform. Voting has now closed in all participating countries.

Vanessa Cook (VC): The performers are gathered in the green room nervously awaiting the results. Before we continue, a reminder of how the winner will be decided.

TE: In the past thirty minutes, members of the public have been voting in every country. Each country has tallied their votes and awarded points based on the results. The organisers are currently working hard to confirm these points totals.

Orlando Ryan (OR): Ladies and gentlemen, I think we are ready to start counting down the top ten. The results will be announced in reverse order. Let’s get started!

VC: In tenth place tonight with a total of 22 points, it is "Bleu Hair" by Radio Girls from Valruzia.

TE: Finishing in ninth place with 29 points, we have "You and Me" by the Forest from Lodamun.

OR: Number eight with 36 points, it is "Festa" by CoolZ from Istalia.

TE: The competition was very strong this year, these songs were all great!

VC: In seventh place with 40 points, it is "Dark Safari" by Brashii from the Kitembo Union.

OR: At number six and just missing out on the top half with 45 points, it is "Likatonia" by Queens of Surf from Kalistan.

TE: Two countries are level on 48 points! As a tie break, the country that achieved the most top scores finishes ahead. In fifth place, it is a crowd favourite in the arena: "Moon" by Lina from Dundorf!

OR: Narrowly edging into fourth place is "Á Klettum" by Elsý from Telamon. A haunting performance from Telamon on their return to the competition.

VC: We are down to the final three countries: Kundrati, Lourenne and Luthori. Who is going to win the twentieth edition of the Festival of Musical Arts in Terra? We’ll be back soon to find out. Do not go anywhere!

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Riverside Arena in Fort William. Soon, it will be time to announce the winner of the twentieth edition of the Festival of Musical Arts in Terra.

Will it be Kundrati and their up-tempo folk fusion? Could it be Lourenne’s nostalgic bedroom pop? What about the classic indie rock of Luthori?

Let’s begin by revealing the artist taking third place tonight. With 55 points, it is …

"I Remember" by Alfie Dawson from Luthori! A great performance from the hosts but not quite enough to win.

A good rock tune! Dawson should be proud of how he has represented Luthori tonight.

Two countries remain: Kundrati and Lourenne. We are moments away from finding out the next winner of the Festival of Musical Arts in Terra!

Before we reveal the winner, let me tell you there are only three points between the top two artists tonight! With a total of 65 points, the winner is …

"Pensees Intrusives" by Bateaux from Lourenne!

Congratulations to Bateaux for an excellent performance that perfectly represents Lourenne’s music scene!

Commiserations to "Step by Step" by Mendia from Kundrati. An energetic, fun performance that was narrowly beaten on the night!

Let’s welcome Bateaux back to the stage to perform "Pensees Intrusives" for a final time! What a brilliant evening of music. We look forward to the next edition!
