On Saturday, Benelux broadcaster RTL announced the launch of a contest to find the ultimate prop for their representative Laura Thorn: a homemade doll of the singer, who’ll be bringing her song La poupée monte le son, meaning “The doll turns up the volume”, to Basel.

Until this Sunday (20th April), the broadcaster is hosting this creative contest for all ages, with a link provided on their website to submit entries:

“Whether you use paper, string, fabric, buttons, or yarn – anything goes, as long as you love it. You can use a template or create your own design. The only rule: your doll should resemble the real Laura Thorn as closely as possible.

Here’s how it works:

Create a doll that looks like Laura Thorn

Take a photo and send it to us

With a bit of luck, your doll could travel to the Eurovision Song Contest in Basel with Laura

All submitted dolls will be carefully reviewed, and one winning doll will be selected. The winner will be contacted by us and can either bring the doll to RTL City in person or send it to us by mail.

We can’t wait to see your creative masterpieces and to find out which Laura doll will be heading to Basel!”

After a three-decade hiatus, Luxembourg returned triumphantly to Eurovision last year in Malmö, where Tali and her song Fighter finished in 13th place in the grand final. They’ll be hoping to consolidate on that performance with a qualification for Laura Thorn in semi-final 2. The song is written by prominent musical theatre composer Ludovic-Alexandre Vidal, as well as Christophe Houssin and Julien Savila.
