What is "ogae"

OGAE (, English: General Organisation of Eurovision Fans) is an international organisation that was founded in 1984 in Savonlinna, Finland by Jari-Pekka Koikkalainen. The organisation consists of a network of 42 Eurovision Song Contest fan clubs across Europe and beyond, and is a non-governmental, non-political, and nonprofit company.

Four non-profit competitions are organised independently every year to promote national popular music to Eurovision fans from around the world. The international organisation works frequently in cooperation with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) in order to help promote the Eurovision Song Contest, and has also established a strong relationship with the national broadcasting companies from across the participating countries.

The current President of the OGAE International Network is Simon Bennett from OGAE United Kingdom, who succeeded from Maiken Mäemets of OGAE Finland in 2015.
