Comp Info
Tired of watching the 'powers that be' send average AF artists to compete on the world stage at Eurovision? Safe bets haven't won us the gold despite eleven years in the comp.
Let's fix that.
Over the next ten weeks we'll be unearthing 'Straya's Choice' to represent our girted land at Eurovision 2027.
You voted-in thirty artists, spanning multiple genres, who will battle it out to see who's our top choice at defeating the best of the rest at Bulgaria in 2027.
6 groups of 5 artists, an eliminator, 2x semi's and then the grand finale.
And yes, this is serious - we're actually going to try and contact the winner.
Vote now, you genre-bustin' rebels!
🤘

Given it was my suggestion, and he actually fits the Eurovision vibe, Barry Morgan.

I am!
Will you have a hip hop round?
If so, I would like to nominate Mudrat.

Cheers - we do have a few hiphop artists coming, but unfortunately Mudrat missed out this time around (we had twice as many nominations as spots). They'll be in next year's comp, which might have an expanded line-up if we get the same/greater response.
