The winner will be voted only by the audience through televoting.

The story so far

Germany is the country that no other has surpassed when it comes to the number of participations. It counts two victories so far, in 1982 with Nicole and Ein bisschen frieden, and in 2010 with Satellite performed by Lena.

As a Big 5 country, Germany qualifies directly to the Eurovision Grand Final.

Germany was represented in the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest by the band Elaiza with Is it right. The band earned its right to be in Copenhagen by winning the national final after having earned the wildcard last year. Will the story repeat itself in 2015…?
