At Junior Eurovision
At the running order draw which took place on 15 November 2015, Belarus were drawn to perform tenth on 21 November 2015, following Macedonia and preceding Armenia.[4]
Final
Performing from a small raised platform, Ruslan gave several very emotional and passionate performances. The backdrop for this performance sees a tree changing colours with various effects. With one move of his arm, Ruslan is able to change the background effects through the song, creating his magic on stage. As they key change comes in, as well as the switching of the song into English, the tree is set alight to bring the final crescendo of song.
Voting
The voting during the final consisted of 50 percent public televoting and 50 percent from a jury deliberation. The jury consisted of five music industry professionals who were citizens of the country they represent, with their names published before the contest to ensure transparency. This jury was asked to judge each contestant based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act. In addition, no member of a national jury could be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently. The individual rankings of each jury member were released one month after the final.
Following the release of the full split voting by the EBU after the conclusion of the competition, it was revealed that Belarus had placed seventh with the public televote and third with the jury vote. In the public vote, Belarus scored 61 points, while with the jury vote, Belarus scored 101 points.
Below is a breakdown of points awarded to Belarus and awarded by Belarus in the final and the breakdown of the jury voting and televoting conducted during the final.
