The voting results
The outcome of the contest was decided through jury and public vote. The jury was comprised of Andriy Danylko (Eurovision 2007 as Verka Serduchka), Jamala (winner of Eurovision 2016), and music producer and singer Serhiy Tanchynets.
While ‘Vidbir 2024’ was held on 3rd of February, the results were announced a day later, on 4th of February due to technical issues with the app ‘Diya’.
Jury awarded maximum points to Ziferblat, while audience decided to choose Alyona Alyona & Jerry Heil. They also received the second highest amount of points from the jury.
This means that the duo will be headed to Malmo, Sweden to represent Ukraine with the song ‘Teresa and Maria’.
