Twenty-two songs have won the North Vision Song Contest, a competition organized by members of the North Broadcasting Union. The contest has been held once in about one or two months since its debut in April 2013. The contest's winner has been determined using a basic voting method; awarding points to countries by juries and/or televoters. The country awarded the most points is declared the winner.
There have been twenty contests, with Denmark being the only country to win the event three times while Norway, Israel, Switzerland and Sweden have won the contest twice. The other eight countries have won once. Iceland won the first contest, held in Hungary. Apart from Iceland, Lebanon is the only country to win at its debut.
The winners of the contest have mostly been female solo performers apart from the winners of the second, fourth, tenth, eleventh, thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth editions. In the tenth edition, a duet won for the first time. Amaranthe became the first artist to win the contest twice.
Nicole Saba's "Hafdal Ahlam" became the first winning song to be entirely in a language other than English, followed by Ani and Grigory's "Zerkala" which was sung in Russian.
