Macedonia – We begin our ‘Spotlight on Skopjefest’ Eurovision 2015 Selection. As we count down the days until we land in stunning Skopje for their Eurovision 2015 selection we thought that we will get you in the party mood for our first song selection for Eurovision 2015 – Yes the FIRST!

20 acts will perform in the Metropol Arena in Skopje next week on November 12th. We are so excited as the 20 songs will be accompanied by the MRT National Orchestra. A welcome return of the orchestra. Skopjefest will be hosted by the well renowned actor Vasil Zafircev. He is also the former husband of Macedonia’s 2012 Eurovision Grand Finalist Kaliopi. You can find more out more about Vasil on his official website

The show will be aired live at 20:15 CET on MRT 1 and MRT Sat and via the official MRT website and Eurovision Ireland will be broadcasting live from Skopje.

The interval entertainment will be courtesy of Kaliopi (2012) and Karolina Goceva(2002,2006). The winner will be selected selected via a 50/50 international jury- televoting decision.

There will be 7 International juries that will cast their votes on November 11th. Like in Eurovision there will be 5 members on each of the International Juries. So who do we came competing?
