Georgia: Five songs in the running for February selection

In December, Nika Kocharov & Young Georgian Lolitas were announced by Georgian Public Broadcaster as their representatives for Stockholm 2016, and now it’s time to choose the song. From the open contest, five songs have been chosen and the winner will be announced on 15th February.

While the band was chosen internally, songwriters were invited to submit their work for the entry. An expert commission weeded through over 100 submissions to narrow it down to the best five.

The final selection will be made by a 50/50 split of public television voters and an international expert jury.

The video clips for the five remaining songs will be produced on 31st January and aired publically in the show Communicator on GPB’s First Channel on 3rd February. From the following day until the 15th February, the audience will be able to cast their votes.

ESC Daily will follow the selection with close coverage; stay tuned with us for the announcement.
