Germany: The application platform for Eurovision 2024 has been opened – When will the selection take place?

German broadcaster NDR has officially confirmed that the national final for choosing the nation’s Eurovision 2024 entry will take place on February 16, 2024, under the new moniker “Das Deutsche Finale 2024” (The 2024 German Final). The application platform launched at the same time that the regulations were made available to the public.

The rules haven’t changed significantly despite the name change for the German national final. These are the announcement’s primary takeaways:

• From today (7 September) to 5 October 2023, bands and artists can submit their applications on the website eurovision.de. They can also use the hashtag #EurovisionGermany2024 on TikTok to share their submission.
• NDR emphasizes that all musicians are welcome, regardless of genre.
• Artists that are interested can enter with or without a song. Later on, the matching of songs and performers will take place. But regardless of whether they include a song or not, all submissions must be accompanied by a video showcasing their vocal abilities.
• The Eurovision rules should be adhered to by musicians that submit songs. These tracks must not be longer than 3 minutes and cannot be older than 1 September 2023. Last but not least, there are no language restrictions for the lyrical portion.

Germany was represented this year by Lord of the Lost with the song “Blood and Glitter”. The band, which is well-known in Germany, came in last place overall, with a total of 18 points. Will Germany be able to recover from its string of poor results and move to the left side of the leaderboard?
