The much awaited French national final has been postponed by France 3. Originally it was scheduled for March 5th at 20:50 but it has been moved a day later.

France 3 decided to move the final a day later so as not to clash withthespecial programme by France 2 "Le cancer sort de l'ombre" (Cancer exits from the shadow). The French final will be hosted by Tex and Julien Lepers.

Do not forget that you still have the opportunity to be present in the French final yourself by taking part in the special contest organised by France Television. The deadline for the submission of your videos with a message to the people of France in your own language is February 22nd.

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.
