The Armeian broadcaster is looking for songs to compete in the Armenian national final for the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest. Ten songs will be selected to compete for the ticket to Oslo in the telvised selection.

Songs can submitted until 1st February 2010. By 10th Feburary, ten acts will be chosen to compete in the national final. The ten entries will be broadcast on television between 10th and 15th February and a jury and televoting will select the winner, both counting for 50%. Earlier there have been rumours that Mihran & Emmy had already been selected as Armenian entrants based on a video that appeared on youtube. Those rumours therefore turn out to be untrue; however it is still possible that they will take part in the national selection.

Armenia has been competing in the Eurovision Song Contest since 2006. In 2009, they were represented by Inga & Anush with the song Nor par (Jan jan), which finished tenth in the final making it the country's lowest placing entry to date.
