For the first time ever, ESCXTRA.com present to you the ESCXTRA Awards! In ten different categories, we will look for the favourite among you Eurovision fans. Voting has opened today, so make sure you check out how and when you can vote!
The categories
Voting is open in nine categories. Each of the categories has six nominees, which have been determined based on a couple of criteria. We have taken a look at views, results, but also the fan reaction during the season to determine which six acts would be the ideal nominees for each of the categories. You can find the nominees when voting for the ESCXTRA Awards, of which you can find the link at the bottom of this article.
