The final of ‘Chefsache ESC’ is happening on Saturday 1 March at 20:15 CET. If you’re in Germany, you’ll be able to watch via Das Erste, ONE, ARD Mediathek and eurovision.de. If you’re outside of Germany, you can tune in to the live stream on the Official Eurovision Song Contest YouTube channel.
Coming to us live from Cologne, the German Eurovision pre-selection will be hosted by Barbara Schöneberger.
Nine artists will perform the songs that they hope to represent Germany with in May, as well as a cover version of their choice. After all 18 performances have played out, a jury (made up of Stefan Raab, Conchita Wurst, Yvonne Catterfeld and Nico Santos) will vote and decide on five acts to move on to the next round. It’s going to be a helluva long night.
In this round, it’s the audience alone that will decide on the song that will represent Germany at the Eurovision Song Contest in Basel. But it’s not just the German viewers watching at home that will be casting their votes. Wherever you are in the world, you’ll also be able to have your say in the Chefsache ESC result!…
How To Vote
The German broadcaster is inviting the whole world to contribute to its pre-selection for the 69th Eurovision Song Contest.
If you’re watching from outside of Germany, you’ll be able to cast your vote in Chefsache ESC much like the Rest of the World vote at the Eurovision Song Contest. And just like that vote, the place to do so is at www.esc.vote.
Each vote will cost €0.20 and there are a maximum of 20 votes allowed per user. A full list of Terms & Conditions for international voters can be found right here.
All votes count towards the final result and are treated the same; there is no differentiation between national and international votes. The voting is expected to start at around 23:15 CET and last between 15 and 20 minutes.
