Austria: Will the artist representing the country be made public in the upcoming week?

The artist who will represent Austria in the 68th Eurovision Song Contest has already been chosen and will be revealed within the next week, according to the Austrian newspaper Kronen.

Austria, for another year, chose its entry internally, following an open call to interested artists. Fourteen of the songs that were initially submitted made it to the live audition round.

At this point, a specially formed, multidisciplinary committee comprised of twenty-five individuals selected the artist who will represent Austria in Malmö, Sweden, in May of next year. The jury included both musicologists and Eurovision fans.

With the song “Who the Hell is Edgar?” Teya and Salena, who represented Austria last year, came in fifteenth place overall with 120 points.
