515 entries in the race to represent Switzerland at Eurovision 2020!
The deadline has passed in Switzerland and broadcaster SRF reveal that they have received 515 entries this year!
On social media they warmly thank everyone who have sent in a song:
The phase in which a jury will evaluate all the songs will commence very soon and this is what that stage will look like, as explained in a previous article on ESCBubble:
A 100-member audience panel together with a 20-member international jury will listen to all of the submitted entries and rate the songs and artists. The winner, and the Swiss entry for Eurovision 2020 will also be decided by these two panels, as both panels will have a 50% say in the final outcome.
Composers and artists of all nationalities are welcome to submit their entries to the Contest, however – in case of a tie, the performers with Swiss nationality or Swiss residence will have the advantage.
This year saw great success for Switzerland at the contest, that being almost an understatement as their 4th place was the best placing since 1993!
Luca Hänni and his ‘She Got Me’ are the cause of all that pride:
