The show
The show to be broadcast on RTR1 will start at 19:00 CET (21:00 local time). 25 acts will present one song each and the winner will be chosen by a jury (50%) and televoting (50%). Like last year, it has been reported that some of the songs in the running would not be eligible to enter the Eurovision Song Contest as they were published before 1st October. Therefore, the national final can also be seen as a performer selection.
