Luxembourg: Tonight the final of the Luxembourg Song Contest 2024!
Luxembourg, one of the most successful countries in Eurovision history, is making a comeback to the Eurovision Song Contest after a hiatus since 1993. With a desire to reclaim its glory and eyeing a sixth victory, Luxembourg is set to choose its representative for Malmo tonight through the Luxembourg Song Contest 2024.
Selection Process
After months of meticulous planning, Luxembourg’s Eurovision delegation organizers opted for a unique and thorough selection process. A panel of five international experts was entrusted with the task of deciding which songs would participate in tonight’s Luxembourg Song Contest 2024.
The inclusion of this “external” factor served as a safeguard to ensure objectivity, a critical element for a small nation like Luxembourg. The international committee comprised five distinguished members, each with substantial experience in the Eurovision realm:
- Christer Björkmann: Renowned Swedish producer, TV host, and former Eurovision participant (Sweden 1992). Björkmann, a pivotal figure in Eurovision, has also served as Head of Delegation for Sweden, produced the Eurovision Song Contest in 2013 and 2015, and was involved in the unique American Song Contest in 2022.
- Jan Bors: Former Head of Delegation for the Czech Republic.
- Cesár Sampson: Represented Austria in Eurovision 2018, securing the first place in the jury vote. Sampson is also playing an active role in the Czech Republic’s national selection this year as the artistic director and presenter.
- Alex Panagi: Eurovision authority and two-time representative for Cyprus (1995 and 2000). Panagi, in recent years, has taken on roles as a Vocal Coach for various Eurovision participants and contributed vocally to Elena Paparizou’s performance in 2005.
- Tali Eshkoli: Israeli TV producer, involved in the production of Eurovision 2019 and the organization of the Miss Universe competition in 2021. Eshkoli has also been a jury member in national selections of various countries over the years.
