Submitted vs shown at the party -- the gap is entries that did not pass preselection
Over 16 editions, 5,914 entries were submitted and 4,692 made it to the bigscreen (79.3%). The remaining 1,222 did not pass preselection or did not appear at the party for other reasons.
Entry Origins
Where entries come from: on-site at the venue, submitted remotely, or via satellite events
Since 2023, Revision accepts remote and satellite entries alongside on-site submissions. The 2020–2022 online editions were fully remote by nature and are not shown here. Data based on Partymeister access key classification.
On-site Remote SatelliteMuted extension = did not pass preselection
Across 2023–2026, 88 of 370 podium finishes (24%) and 32 of 123 first-place wins (26%) went to remote or satellite entries.
Remote Participation by Competition
Percentage of entries submitted remotely or via satellite (2023–2026 combined, competitions with 10+ entries)
Preselection Trend
Percentage of submissions shown at the party, year over year
Shown rates range from 73% in 2020 to 86% in 2019 -- preselection pressure fluctuates with submission volume more than jury strictness.
Vote Participation
Average points each audience member awarded, year over year
OnsiteOnlineTotal points awarded divided by total attendance, a proxy for how actively the audience voted. Online editions (2020-2022) are computed against remote audience rather than onsite, so they're comparable in principle but represent a different voting culture. Across 16 editions, audiences have awarded a total of 3,205,767 points to entries on the bigscreen.

All-Time Leaders
Cumulative achievements across 16 years. Group format competitions and solo format competitions are tracked separately, first by wins only then weighted by podium finishes (1st=3, 2nd=2, 3rd=1).
GROUP WINS
Wins in group format competitions
SOLO WINS
Wins in solo format competitions
GROUP PODIUM POINTS
Podium points in group format competitions (1st=3, 2nd=2, 3rd=1)
SOLO PODIUM POINTS
Podium points in solo format competitions (1st=3, 2nd=2, 3rd=1)
Group format and solo format are different arenas -- leading one says nothing about the other. 107 groups have won at least one group format competition (top 10 = 32% of those wins); 113 individuals have won at least one solo format competition (top 10 = 36% of those wins). Podium points reward consistent top-3 finishes rather than pure wins, so the rankings can look very different when silver and bronze count too.
Note: the scores above only count competitions in each arena. The "Top 10 Groups" and "Top 10 Individuals" sections further down count podium points across all competitions, so the same name can appear with a slightly different score in both places -- that's a difference in scope, not a contradiction.
