Fortuna Music Contest

The Fortuna Music Song Contest, often shortened to FMC is a song contest on Youtube held since November 2021. The competition is based upon the existing Eurovision Song Contest held among the member countries of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) since 1956. The current and official executive supervisor is Kenajabam.

Each country's head of delegation gets to select an entry for each edition either by internal or national selection. Then the countries get to vote for each show (semi-final or final) to determine the qualifiers and the winner of the edition.

Twelve countries hold the record for the highest number of wins, having won the contest one time. The highest scoring winner is Periishte of Kazakhstan who won the twelfth edition with their song "Kolenkemen bi" with 166 points, 48 points ahead of the runner-up.

Origins
The first ever Fortuna Music Contest started on 13th November 2021. It was held in Rome, the capital city of Italy, which therefore was the first ever country to host the contest. Seventeen nations took part in the first edition each submitting one entry to the contest. Each country awarded 12 points to their favorite, 10 points to their second favourite and then 8 points to 1 point for the rest.

The first contest was won by Switzerland.
