OGAE Macedonia is preparing to host its second annual Eurovision Song Contest party at a Skopje nightclub. The entertainment will double as a preview of this year's talent for FYR Macedonia as the contestants for the national selection take to the stage.

As well as this year's hopefuls, the show will also include appearances by other former participants. The event itself will be held at the Process club in the centre of Skopje, a popular venue with guest DJs from all over Europe being a regular fixture. The party will take place on 23rd February from 22:00 local time.

The Macedonian final will be held on 4th March. Due to a disappointing placing in 2005, the winning song will be performed at the international qualifier round in Athens on 18th May.
