It was also the first time a cow had featured in a Schoolovision song! I wonder what they might produce in 2014?

It's difficult to believe, but we are now into the 6th year of Schoolovision, the project having been created early in 2009, as an idea to link primary schools from across Europe using the eTwinning platform in a project based on the Eurovision Song Contest.
Each participating country has the chance to choose a song, sing it and video it, before uploading it to the blog by the cut-off date, usually around 1 week before the real ESC. Then, all the pupils in all the participating countries watch and evaluate all the songs, before voting for their own personal favourite, usually the day before the real ESC. For this extra special live vote, we use the webcam conferencing tool, FlashMeeting.
Schoolovision 2009! was the first year of the competition, with a total of 30 countries taking part. The winners were ZS Husova school from Brno in the Czech Republic, with their beautiful song Hejkal.
In 2010, we had a larger entry, with 34 countries eager to win Schoolovision 2010! The standards were extremely high, and the winning song in a nailbiting live-vote came from Flataskoli Gardabaer in Iceland. Their entry was this fantastic version of Abba's Dancing Queen.

Then, in 2011, our previous winners ZS Husova from Brno in the Czech Republic came roaring back, winning the 3rd edition of Schoolovision in fine style, with their outstanding entry, Jaro.
Then, in 2012, we expanded eastwards, with new entries from several countries, including Ukraine, Russia, Georgia and Azerbaijan which helped take our total number of partners to 38, our largest to date. The standards also went up even further, and incredibly, all the top 3 entries came from new entrant schools! The winners were Hoknes barneskole, from Namsos in Norway, with Ærlighet varer lengst, a quite brilliant entry!

In 2013, our expansion east was recognised by eTwinning, and we were awarded a very special certificate for our "outstanding collaboration and contribution to eTwinning" at the European Conference in Lisbon. Two months later, and one of our newest countries, Israel, triumphed with an equally outstanding entry, their very own tribute to the only Israeli astronaut, Ilan Ramon, lost in the 2003 Columbia space shuttle disaster.
So, in 2014, what can we expect in the following few months? Lots of quite wonderful entries!
