The 2018 winner of Eurovision is Israel represented by singer Netta Barzilai.

Barzilai won the content with a #MeToo anthem ‘Toy’.

Israel pulled in 529 points to take Eurovision for 2018. Cyprus was second.

Australia’s Sony Music recording artist Jessica Mauboy made the final with her song ‘We Got Love’. She ended up in 20th place in the Grand Final.

Australia has been a contestant in Eurovision since 2015 due to an arrangement between the event and an arrangement with SBS Broadcasting Australia.

The 2015 inclusion of Sony Music Australia recording Guy Sebastian was meant to be a one-off to mark the 60th anniversary of Eurovision. In 2017, X Factor Australia winner Isaiah Firebrace represented the country.
