Unlike last year — when Estonia had two semi-finals — this year there will only be one. The preliminary event will take place on January 20 in the city of Tartu.
And we now know which 15 acts will contest it.
Following the submission period, a “broad-based jury” consisting of 41 people selected 20 songs: 5 which have automatically qualified for the final and 15 more who will sing it out in the semi-final.
We’ll have to wait until 7 November for ERR to reveal the five automatic qualifiers, which it’ll do on the tv show Ringvaade.
But for now we do have the semi-finalists. Among them is OLLIE, who placed second in last year’s competition with his number “Venom.”
