The {{Lang|fr|'''Organisation Générale des Amateurs de l'Eurovision'''|italic=no}} ({{IPA|fr|ɔʁɡanizɑsjɔ̃ ʒeneʁal dez‿amatœʁ də løʁovizjɔ̃|pron}}; {{Langnf|fr||General Organisation of Eurovision Fans}}), shortened to '''OGAE''', is a [[Non-governmental organization|non-governmental]] and [[Nonprofit organization|non-profit]] international organisation, consisting of 42 [[Eurovision Song Contest]] fan clubs from across Europe and worldwide. It was founded in 1984 in [[Savonlinna]], [[Finland]] by Jaripekka Koikkalainen.

Four non-profit competitions are organised by the OGAE every year to promote national popular music to Eurovision fans around the world. The organisation also works frequently in co-operation with the [[European Broadcasting Union]] (EBU) and national broadcasters from the participating countries in order to help promote the Eurovision Song Contest.

The current president of the OGAE International Network is Simon Bennett from OGAE [[United Kingdom]], who succeeded Maiken Mäemets of OGAE [[Finland]] in 2015.

== History ==
The Eurovision Song Contest began in [[Eurovision Song Contest 1956|1956]], and in 1984 the OGAE International Network was founded by Jaripekka Koikkalainen in [[Savonlinna]], Finland.<ref name="OGAE Clubs">{{cite web|title=OGAE International Welcome Page|last1=Guðmundsdóttir|first1=Laufey Helga|url=https://ogaeinternational.org/|publisher=OGAE International|access-date=16 April 2017}}</ref> The organisation, which is an independent Eurovision [[fan club]], operates as a non-governmental, non-political and non-profit body, and works frequently in cooperation with the [[European Broadcasting Union]] (EBU). The network is open to countries that take part in the Eurovision Song Contest or have participated in the past. Several other countries around Europe and beyond that do not have their own independent OGAE Network, including [[Monaco in the Eurovision Song Contest|Monaco]], [[San Marino in the Eurovision Song Contest|San Marino]], Kazakhstan, South Africa, and the United States of America, participate in the organization under the "Rest of the World" title.<ref name=World>{{cite web|title=Welcome to OGAE Rest of the World|url=http://www.ogaerotw.com/|publisher=OGAE RoW|access-date=16 April 2017}}</ref>

Every year, the organisation arranges two competitions, the OGAE Second Chance Contest, and the OGAE Song Contest.<ref>{{cite web|title=OGAE Contests|url=https://ogaeinternational.org/ogae-contests/|access-date=11 October 2023}}</ref> The cooperative exercise of the OGAE Network is to raise awareness of popular national music across the world, in collaboration with the fans of the Eurovision Song Contest, as well as establishing a strong relationship between national broadcasting companies and the marketing of the Eurovision Song Contest itself to a wider fan-base.<ref name=About>{{cite web|title=OGAE International About Us|last1=Guðmundsdóttir|first1=Laufey Helga|date=August 2016 |url=https://ogaeinternational.org/about/|publisher=OGAE International|access-date=16 April 2017}}</ref>

Every year since 2007, the OGAE has conducted a pre-Eurovision Song Contest poll in which every national club plus OGAE Rest of the World casts a vote from all entries participating in a particular contest, using the same scoring system as the one at Eurovision: the most voted songs on each club receive 1 to 8, and then 10 and 12 points, and countries cannot vote for themselves. The winners of this poll are:

=== OGAE Second Chance Contest ===
The OGAE Second Chance Contest is a visual event organised by branches of OGAE. It began in 1987, when it was then known as "Europe's Favourite".{{cn|date=October 2023}} Four OGAE branches competed in the first contest, coming from the {{Esccnty|Netherlands}}, {{Esccnty|Norway}}, {{Esccnty|Sweden}} and the {{Esccnty|United Kingdom}}.<ref name=Background>{{cite web|last=Speirs|first=Gary|title=Contest Background|url=http://www.sechuk.com/sechbackground.htm|work=OGAE Second Chance Contest|publisher=sechuk.com|access-date=9 June 2013}}</ref> The contest quickly expanded and now usually contains around 20 countries competing each year. Due to the countries' varying Eurovision selection methods over the years, it is a common occurrence for countries to sporadically compete in the contest.<ref name=History>{{cite web|title=About us|url=http://www.secondchancecontest.com/pages/aboutus.php|work=OGAE Second Chance Contest|publisher=OGAE|access-date=9 June 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131020181207/http://secondchancecontest.com/pages/aboutus.php|archive-date=20 October 2013|df=dmy-all}}</ref> The competition was previously a non-televised event, but evolved over the years by the usage of videotape and later DVD, [[YouTube]] and streaming services.<ref name="Background"/>

The contest takes place in the summer after the year's Eurovision Song Contest. A video entry from each branch of OGAE is handed to each competing OGAE club. The votes are then returned to the organising OGAE branch, normally the previous year's winning branch, who then organises the final. The method of voting has developed since the contests interception, from audio-tape in the contest's beginnings to the use of video tape and nowadays by DVD and YouTube.<ref name="Background"/>

Previously it had been known for non-televised national final entries to compete in the Second Chance Contest. This occurred from 1989 to 1991 when {{Esccnty|Spain|OGAE Spain}} entered songs known to have been entered into the country's internal selection process. In 1990, 1991, 1998 and 1999 {{Esccnty|Italy|OGAE Italy}} competed in the Second Chance Contest, entering the winning songs of the Italian [[Sanremo Music Festival]], known to be the basis for the creation of the Eurovision Song Contest. After 1999, a new rule was introduced allowing only songs from televised national finals to compete in the Second Chance Contest. This has led to some branches becoming ineligible to compete for many years due to no national final being held in the country.<ref name="Information">{{cite web|last=Speirs|first=Gary|title=Statistics and other Useless Information|url=http://www.sechuk.com/sechinfo.htm|work=OGAE Second Chance Contest|publisher=sechuk.com|access-date=9 June 2013}}</ref> Since 1993, guest juries have been used in the voting of the contest. These juries are composed of branches that are ineligible to compete in the contest due to no national final being held in their country.<ref name="Information"/>

====Retrospective Second Chance Contest====
From 2003 it was decided to hold Retrospective Contests each year containing songs from contests prior to 1987. In 2003 the first contest was held, containing songs that failed to compete in the [[Eurovision Song Contest 1986]]. This format is repeated every year, for example in 2004 the 1985 Retrospective contest was held, in 2005 the 1984 contest was held, etc.

====Guest Jury Hits====
The Guest Jury Hits contest was introduced in 2003, giving guest juries of the Retro contests the opportunity to compete in their own contest. The contest was formed as a way for OGAE branches to become juries in the Second Chance Retro Contest, with each non-competing branch selecting a hit song from their country in that year.  The first contest was held in 2003, when hit songs from 1985 competed in the contest. So far eighteen contests have been held, with [[Italy]] winning eight contests, the [[United States]] winning twice, and [[Australia]], [[Belgium]], [[Germany]], [[Spain]], [[Sweden]], [[Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic]], and [[Jamaica]] each winning once. [[Umberto Tozzi]] has so far been responsible for three of Italy's wins.<ref name="Guest Jury">{{cite web|last=Speirs|first=Gary|title=Guest Jury Hits|url=http://www.sechuk.com/GJH-National%20Records.htm|work=OGAE Guest Jury Contest|publisher=sechuk.com|access-date=9 June 2013}}</ref>

=== OGAE Video Contest ===
The '''OGAE Video Contest''' is a video event which, much like the OGAE Song Contest, is organised between branches of the OGAE. All OGAE national clubs can enter with an original song and video released in the previous 12 months in their countries. There is no obligation on the entry for the OGAE Video Contest to be sung in one of the country's official languages.

====Participation====
So far 51 countries have been represented at the contest at least once. These are listed here alongside the year in which they made their debut:
