So far, the contest has produced seven winners: three male soloists, three female soloists and one group. The winner of the Song Contest has been chosen by a mixture of a jury panel and televoting, by a ratio of 50%/50%, except for 2007 & 2008, when the vote was 60% public and 40% jury. Voting by SMS was introduced in 2006. The competition makes a considerable impact on music charts in New Cambria, and many of the participating songs have gone on to be country-wide hits.
