Contest overview
The 2020 Home Composed Song Contest was organised by the previous year's winner, Bo Söderholm from Finland, with assistance from Martin Faulkner of the HCSC Organising Committee.
Even nearly three decades into HCSC history, the competition was able to welcome new countries. This time it was the turn of Lithuania to make its debut, represented by singer-songwriter Gina Sabrina. Two other debutants, Janneck Schmacke from Germany and Anders Spakling from Finland, enjoyed strong results - the latter even achieving the highest number of 'douze points' in the course of finishing 5th. In all, there were 17 entries from a total of nine different countries.
Once again, there was an internet-based public vote (shown as in the scoresheet) and a guest jury, as often provided by Radio International (shown as in the scoresheet).
For a long time, the results (which can be viewed here) were a head-to-head race between previous winners Tony Olsen and Andy Brook. In the end, the latter's londonvision project pulled away for a fairly comfortable win with "The Cuckold Song (Should've Done The Same As You)" - the second win in the competition for both Andy and the United Kingdom generally. Meanwhile, host Bo drew level with the Danish entry to complete the podium with a joint second place.
