Runners up and finalists

edit

The contest has announced five finalists from 1996 to 1998, from 2014 to 2016 and from 2019 to 2024. From 1999 to 2005 the number was reduced to three, and in 2017 the group was increased to six (regardless if the pageant post-announces the placements of the other 2/3 delegates who made it to the Top 5/6). Furthermore, the pageant has awarded the winner with the first runner-up from 1996 to 1997, being increased to three with the second runner-up being also awarded from 1998 to 2005 and from 2014 to 2024. In 2006 only the winner was announced. In 2009 and 2012 the winners were appointed without any competition being held.
