SemiFinal 1 - Eurovision 2023 - Sontag Dalton Camp Survey

Welcome to the Eurovision 2023 Camp Index, Semifinal 1!

The questions here are adapted from Susan Sontag's article Notes on Camp, which lovingly tried to define exactly what camp was in 1964.

The survey will take about 2-3 minutes to complete. The goal is to see if songs with a high "camp ranking" place well at Eurovision.

NB: in English the word camp can have a few meanings. Camp here is used to describe taste/aesthetic, not sexual preference.
