The Jury Verdict

BBC News

After criticism that Eurovision voting is biased in favor of Eastern Europe countries, they have decided to reintroduce juries. Next year's Eurovision winner will be decided by a mixture of televoting of juries how exactly it will work though has not be decided.

Actually, they used a jury during the 2008 Eurovision semi-finals. Nine finalists were selected by televoting and the tenth was picked from the remaining contestants by a jury.

I know way too much about Eurovision.
