The magic of the stage has just given way to the fever of the competition. The 15 competing countries of the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 have successfully concluded their performances at the Wiener Stadthalle. Alis, with the song “Nân”, gave a vocally perfect and deeply emotional performance, capturing the applause of the arena.

But now, the real competition has just begun. The festival hosts have officially declared televoting open, thus starting the countdown to what are considered the “golden 15 minutes” for Albania’s qualification to the Grand Final.

Appeal to the Diaspora: The Grand Finale in your hands

With rules prohibiting voting from within Albanian territory, the burden of qualification falls entirely on the shoulders of compatriots living abroad. Every second of these 15 minutes is important. There are only 15 minutes to make a difference.
