The Ukrainian spirit is still standing strong, despite everything that is still ongoing, Ukrainian broadcaster (Suspline) has recently revealed that almost 400 songs were received during the submission period.
Vidbir 2025
To be more precise, a total of 369 applicants have during the submission period applied to participate in the national selection in Ukraine. A few acts did even submit multiple songs, landing the total number of received submissions, onto 374.
The Ukrainian broadcaster has even shared more specifically, that among the applicants, we find a total of 232 solo artists, while 72 are bands/groups. Even applicants from outside of Ukraine, which hail from countries such as France, Germany, Poland, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom and even from the United States.
What will happen now, is that a longlist will be formed, which will include 20 of the submitted entries. Here, a special jury committee, will decide which 9 acts will qualify directly to the national final, while the remaining 11 acts from the longlist, will advance into a public online vote, where only 1 of them, will then advance to the national final as well.
The national final is set to be held in February 2025, where a total of 10 songs will be performed and a winner will be decided. The Ukrainian broadcaster has as well confirmed, that the winner will be decided by both the televote and the jury.
Earlier in 2024, Jerry Heil & Alyona Alyona were given the task to represent Ukraine, which they did with their song “Teresa & Maria“. The duo performed from the infamous second spot in the final, and still managed to get the best out of it, when the ladies impressed Europe enough, to earn themselves a 3rd place finish in the final.
Can #YOU see Ukraine scoring another impressive result in Basel and is there anyone specific that #YOU would want to see representing them?
