These prizes will be awarded only to people who do not work for RNW (people who work for RNW may vote - we're being kind - but may not win any prizes!).
You may think your own points will not be mirrored by the final result. In that case you may give your points first then add a separate prediction of the TOP 5 songs (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th). In the top-5 prediction you may also include a song or the songs from your own country... if you think they are going to do really well! It's all explained in the email.
