/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Only a few hours may have passed since the presentation of the ESCZ 2024 entries, but already the first odds for the winner have been set!

The ratings, as you can see below, on two Greek bookmarkers (NoviBet and Stoiximan) seem to agree having MYDY and “Red Flag Parade” as the favourites, with Elly following in second place with a pretty big lead over the other 5 artists.

ESCZ 2024 – Winner – NoviBet – 5/12/2024

ESCZ 2024 – Winner– Stoiximan – 5/12/2024

The above odds also seem to be in line with the opinion of the international public, which will determine 70% of the result, as recorded on the My Eurovision Scoreboard app.

ESCZ – Community – My Eurovision Scoreboaard – 5/12/2024

The results will be announced on December 12

The voting started yesterday night and will go on until next Monday, December 11, with the winner being announced the next day.

The winner will be determined by 100% public vote:

  • 70% International Public
  • 30% Czech Public

Until we find out who will represent Czechia at Eurovision 2024, let’s remember the country’s participation in last year’s contest. The previous ESCZ winners were Vesna with the song “My Sister’s Crown” who finished on the 10th place and managed to get Czechia back on the Grand Final for the second consecutive year:
