Next year will be a new story and a new chance. And today it’s us.”
What’s next for Vidbir 2024?
The aforementioned are just the longlisted competitors for Vidbir 2024. These twenty selected artists will go through a live audition, and based on the result, they will be reduced to ten.
Moreover, among the remaining ten longlisted competitors, an online voting will be held in order to determine one more participant to the televised final of Vidbir 2024.
The ten finalists, decided based on their live audition result, will be announced no later than November 20. Meanwhile, we expect the online public vote for the extra spot, after the announcement of the other ten finalists.
The televised final of Vidbir 2024 will be held in February 2024. The winner will be determined by public and jury voting. Also, the composition of the jury will be decided by the Ukrainian public at a later time through online voting.
The previous winners of Vidbir and Ukraine’s representatives in Eurovision 2023, were Tvorchi with their song “Heart of Steel”, ending up in sixth place of the Grand Final.
