The Junior Group A saw Os Jovens de Don Bosco walking away with the first place while Os Rouxinóis and Encantar won second and third place. Maravilhas de Fátima took fourth while Os Conquistadores and Pequenos Cantores were tied in fifth place. In the Junior B round Os Menestréis (first place), Fadistas de Gema (second place), As Estrelas (third place), Boa Mistura (fourth place) and Os Agudos (fifth) emerged winners. In the senior round, Ritmo de Revolução, Bandidos and Luz das Estrelas took first, second and third place respectively.
