Held in Stockholm's Globe Arena, the 2016 contest was hosted by Sweden following Måns Zelmerlöw's victory in 2015 with 'Heroes'. It was the city's third time hosting. The slogan was 'Come Together', with dandelion-themed artwork symbolizing resilience and regeneration. This year introduced the most significant voting change since 1975. For the first time, professional jury votes and public televotes were presented separately, doubling the number of points available and creating a more suspenseful finale. 26 countries competed in the Grand Final. Ukraine's Jamala won with her song '1944', achieving the country's second victory. Australia's Dami Im finished second with 'The Sound of Silence', followed by Russia's Sergey Lazarev in third with 'You Are The Only One'.
