“Austria is once again proving its talent and its high standing as a musical nation. The candidates for the national selection are exactly that: courageous, vibrant, and full of diversity. After the intensive preliminary selection by the jury and editorial team, it is now up to our audience to decide who from the top 12 will represent Austria at the Eurovision Song Contest. Every vote counts – and for the winners, perhaps the most important journey of their musical lives will begin.”
