Switzerland have been named winners of the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest.
Having come out on top of the jury vote with a massive 365 points, Nemo beat Croatia and France to take home the trophy with a total of 591 points.
Nemo took 12 points from 22 of the 37 competing countries in the jury vote. Runners up Croatia topped the televote and finished second overall.
After receiving the trophy from last year’s winner, Loreen, Nemo said: “Thank you so much and I hope this contest can live up to its promise and stand up for dignity and peace.”
Nemo became famous overnight through an appearance at SRF Virus in 2016, which went viral on social media and led to them releasing two EPs – through which seven songs made it directly onto the official Swiss Singles Chart.
In 2020, they started writing and producing for other artists, as well as releasing songs in English. Nemo’s songs deal with themes such as gender identity, mental health and finding their place in the world.
The 68th Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final saw 25 acts take to the stage to perform for the public vote, following a performance for international juries on Friday.
Following all of the performances at the Malmö arena in Sweden, the show also featured a tribute to ABBA marking 50 years of Waterloo, along with a performance from Loreen.
