Part of the Eurovision Weekend is the FanVision Song Contest where Europe's Eurovision Fan Clubs send in a singing act to represent them in the contest. An international jury as well as public voting after all the participating countries' songs have been performed decided the winner in true Eurovision style and the winner for a second time is Mirko Bulian and Maxima Love for Eurovision Club (EC) Germany with the song "My Way" which was originally performed by Tone Sekelius in Melodifestivalen 2022 reaching 5th place in the Grand Final. Mirko and Maxima Love performed the song in their own way.
