13:00 UTC KWC 2021 TOP-20 in number order
15:30 Scores & Awards
We have an international panel of judges from every country where we have singers from. Every country will give scores to their top-10 singers on each round. Scores will be given in Eurovision style: 12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1. A country jury can not give points to their own singers.
All the scores will be announced after the competition rounds. The public vote will also be turned into Eurovision scores = only the top-10 singers will receive points from the vote.
The Round 2 the scores will be added to the Round 1 scores and the cumulative points will determine the top-20 singers who will advance on Round 3. In case of a tie we will use the Eurovision rules: the one with more high scores (12, then 10, 8…) will win. If there still is a tie, the one with more votes will win.
The Karaoke World Champion 2021 will be announced on November 27th. The winner will receive a cash prize, sponsor prizes and flights & accommodation to KWC 2022 finals in Nes, Norway, in August 2022. All top singers will receive sponsor prizes.
