While, the reveal of the final line-up will take place no later than November 20, the Live Auditions started in Ukraine. A couple days prioe, half of the participants longlisted were auditioned, with Suspilne providing us with a backstage video on the first day of Vidbir 2024 Live Auditions.

Moreover, among the remaining competitors, who were not advanced to the final at this stage, an online voting will be held in order to determine one more participant to the televised final of Vidbir 2024.

The ten finalists, decided by their Live Auditions’ result, will be announced no later than November 20. Meanwhile, we expect the online public vote for the extra spot, following 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.
