The Georgian national final to determine the country's representative at the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest was held tonight. The internally selected singer Sofia Nizharadze performed six songs for the public and the jury to choose from and eventually, it was decided that the Georigan entry for Oslo will be Shine written by Hanne Sørvaag, Harry Sommerdahl and Christian Leuzzi.

The winning song was chosen was a mixture of public and jury voting. Hanne Sørvaag has also co-written the Norwegian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2010, My heart is yours. She will therefore be one of the few songwriters to have two entries in the competition in the same year.
