AMPTV, the Armenian national broadcaster has changed their method
to select their 2013 Eurovision entry. Last month the broadcaster
had announced that Armenia would select their representative for
Malmo internally. Today the broadcaster has announced that the 2013
Armenian Eurovision entry and representative will be selected via a
national final on 2 March.
The Armenian broadcaster has changed its plans due to the high interest
of artists wishing to represent Armenia at the forthcoming Eurovision
Song Contest. Gohar Gasparyan, the Armenian Head of Delegation told
the official Eurovision website: Earlier AMPTV announced an internal
selection, but as we continue getting numerous letters and songs we
decided to give an opportunity for as many singers/authors as possible
to perform live and be selected by the viewers and professional jury
ensuring healthy competition.
AMPTV will have a national final on 2 March. The Armenian broadcaster
has called for artists and composers who wish to compete in the
national final to submit their applications. The call for submission
kicks off on 22 January and ends on 20 February. Applicants wishing
to participate can do so by sending their entries via email to
[email protected].
Armenia debuted at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2006 with Andre and
is yet to win the event. The country's best placing at the Eurovision
Song Contest was in 2008 with Sirusho's Qele Qele.
