The UK’s 2026 Eurovision entry, Look Mum No Computer, is selling ‘Look Mum No Points’ t-shirts after coming in last place.
The 70th edition of the song contest was held in Vienna’s Wiener Stadthalle last Saturday (May 16), and saw Bulgaria’s Dara win with ‘Bangaranga’. The victory marked Bulgaria’s first ever win, and her song came out on top of both the jury and audience voting.
The UK’s contestant, Look Mum No Computer, however, finished at the bottom of the table in 25th place with his song ‘Eins, Zwei, Drei’. It picked up only one point from the jury scores and got the dreaded zero when it came to the public vote.
Since the finale, the YouTuber and electronic artist – real name Sam Battle – has praised Bulgaria for the victory, calling them the “deserved winner” and kept a lighthearted reaction to ending the competition at the bottom of the leaderboard. “The most important thing is [that] we all tried our hardest,” he wrote. “Regardless of what is against us. Whatever it may be. Gotta keep trying your hardest regardless of the foooookennnn outcome!!!” he said.
Now, he is taking things one step further and even selling merchandise that makes a nod to his last place poll position, reading “Look Mum No Points”.
Battle shared the new design on Instagram, and wrote in the caption that he knows it is not “technically correct” as he did get one point, the shirts are still available now. Visit here to check it out.
Look Mum No Computer is recognised for his ability to build and play instruments made from unconventional materials, and with this year’s result, he is now the third UK act in a row to be awarded no points in the public vote, after Remember Monday fared the same in 2025, as did Olly Alexander in 2024.
Again, this year’s Eurovision was surrounded by controversy due to Israel being allowed to participate. Several countries – Ireland, Netherlands, Slovenia, Iceland and Spain – boycotted the event in protest at Israel’s involvement, and a mixed response was heard in the audience when entrant Noah Bettan took to the stage at both the semi-finals and the finale.
Bettan finished in second place this year, as it did in 2024 and 2025 too. Ahead of this year’s results, reports have emerged claiming that the nation’s government orchestrated a “well-organised campaign” to use the Eurovision Song Contest as a “soft power” tool.
Ahead of the contest, Amnesty International called for Israel to be suspended, and criticised the EBU for not suspending the country like it did with Russia in 2022 due to the ongoing conflict with Ukraine, with their Secretary General, Agnès Callamard saying it was “an act of cowardice and an illustration of blatant double standards when it comes to Israel”.
“Instead of sending a clear message that there is a cost for Israel’s atrocity crimes against the Palestinian people, the EBU has given Israel this international stage even as it continues to commit genocide in Gaza, unlawful occupation, and apartheid,” Callamard said, also accusing EBU of “betraying the values of the Eurovision Song Contest, which include freedom from intolerance, hate speech, and discrimination”.
Israel has repeatedly rejected accusations of waging genocide, and denies committing any war crimes.
Pressure to exclude Israel from the competition also came from No Music For Genocide, who issued an open letter signed by over 1,100 cultural workers and artists, calling for fans to boycott this year’s Eurovision unless Israel is banned from participating.
The open letter was first shared on April 21, and featured signatures from Brian Eno, Massive Attack, Paloma Faith, Paul Weller, Kneecap, Hot Chip, Of Monsters and Men, IDLES, Primal Scream, Sigur Rós, Young Fathers, Mogwai, Black Country New Road, Erika de Casier, Nadine Shah, Dry Cleaning, Ólafur Arnalds, David Holmes, Nemahsis, Macklemore, Roger Waters, Peter Gabriel, Vacations, Smerz, a number of former Eurovision finalists, and more.
