🗳️ Full results of National Final 250 2021 announced

The votes have been counted for the second edition of Twitter Eurofan Alliance’s National Final 250 (NF 250), and the results have been announced!

Walking away with the number one spot this year are The Hardkiss, with their song Helpless, which lost out in a tiebreak to Jamala in Vidbir 2016 for the winning spot!

Just as Eurovision fans vote on their top Eurovision songs of all time as part of ESC 250, this initiative was started to recognise the songs from national finals in the same way. Voting took place across two rounds – first with fans nominating their top 10 songs using the Eurovision voting scale, and then a round to solve tie breaks arising from the first votes.
