RTL, the Luxembourgish national broadcaster, have opened applications for the 2027 Luxembourg Song Contest – their national selection for the 2027 Eurovision Song Contest.

For the first time, artist and song applications will be made individually. Once the applications have closed for both, shortlisted candidates will be invited to a Pairing Workshop in late October/early November. During the workshop, the candidates will receive guidance from industry experts, to help them select the song that best showcases their artistic identity and gives them the strongest chance of success at the 2027 Eurovision Song Contest. Artists may be assigned a song that they wrote themselves or a song written by someone else.
