Australian broadcaster SBS and production partner Blink TV yesterday announced the final three acts to compete in the country’s first ever national selection show Eurovision – Australia Decides next month.
Hosted by radio host Myf Warhurst, and comedian Joel Creasey, it’s the first time Aussie viewers get to have a say in what song goes to Eurovision. The competition takes place at the Gold Coast Convention Centre (pictured) on Friday, 8 and Saturday, 9 February.
The winner will be determined by a 50/50 split between a viewer vote and points awarded by a professional jury.
The show will be available to watch online through Facebook and Twitter with a promise of no geoblocking.
