Through the show, we want to introduce you to these artists so that you don’t just watch their performances and vote during the contest but also support their work on streaming platforms.

Regarding the structure of Vidbir 2025, three hosts will present the final, with their names to be announced soon. In addition, there will be five interval acts. The show will open with nine former Eurovision participants performing a “symbolic song for Ukrainians”
