GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – The European Broadcasting Union sent a letter to all broadcasters to announce a significant change in the deadlines of participation.
Unlike previous years the national broadcaster should give final confirmation on their participation in mid October instead of mid December as it happened in the past.
The EBU and ORF think that due to the 60th anniversary, early deadline is necessary to achieve the best maximum outcome for a great show next May, therefore official confirmation is now set for October 10th.
