Nothing has been confirmed yet by SVT as far as the venue and format of the 2009 Swedish preselection for the Eurovision Song Contestare concerned. SVT has told partner site escsweden.com that more details will be announced in August. In the meantime, the Swedish broadcaster invites composers to submit their songs until 23rd September.

Thanks to Johnny Logan and Hold me now I fell in love with the Eurovision Song Contest, a love that's been going strong ever since with undiminished passion. My first memories date back to 1977 and the lyrics of Rock bottom, Dschinghis Khan and A ba ni bi are still engraved in my brain.

I joined esctoday.com in 2006 as a junior editor after being invited by Barry Viniker, I soon became Senior Editor and during the 2007 contest in Helsinki I was appointed Head of Communications. Today I hold the post of Head of Human Resources and I am proud to be working with the best editorial team in the world.
