OGAE, is the international fan club of the Eurovision Song Contest. It has branches in most European countries. The letters stand for Organisation générale des Amateurs de l'Eurovision.
Every year, the club organises three non-profit competitions (Song Contest, Second Chance Contest and Video Contest) in where the national clubs of Europe contribute newly released song from their country. The purpose is to spread national popular music throughout the world and to exercise co-operation over the OGAE network of clubs, cooperation among the Eurovision Song Contest fans, promotion of the Eurovision Song Contest, and establishment of strong relations with national broadcasting companies. The event started about ten years ago and flourished to become a much-loved annual event showcasting talent from all across Europe and beyond.[citation needed]
