After Kanita & Jaar hit the stage last edition we wanted something more Magical, more beautiful, and thats why we brought back the Festival that decides who will represent North Macedonia, KONKURS! We had five entrants in this edition (Slatkaristika, Tamara Todevska, Ayana, Traker & Aleesia) and after a long battle between all 5 of them, Tamara Todevska cane out as the winner with the Song "Monsters"
The HoD has made this statement: "We are very excited to welcome back Tamara Todevska, who is a vital part of what make North Macedonian Music what it is now today, she is beyond excited to work with Tamara and make this entry the best North Macedonia has seen in a long time. Tamara took part in The Eurovision Song Contest Tengaged 18 in Belgium with the song Bash Na Tebe, however failed to qualify. She wants to attempt to beat history once again in Belgium (lol). We wish her the best of luck. We would like to also thank the countries who voted in our National Final it was a joyous event and we are definitely having a 4th National Selection. Ayana will compete in the second chance contest and we wish her the best of luck as well. To end, I would like to thank Ghent for accepting North Macedonia into your beautiful city and we can't wait to Unfold the 26th Chapter in Macedonia's appearances in ESCT.
Mairee & Lara Koll have won the 9th edition of Eurosong. After a break from the selection following the grand version hosted with a Melodifestivalen style format, Eurosong made its comeback with 5 newcomers never seen before who brought it all to the table. Eventually, Mairee & Lara Koll prevailed with their song, Do Everything, a pop EDM track that will surely shake Belgium and impact Europe.

Yesterday the results of 'Wer Singt fur Osterreich All-Stars', Austrian national selection for ESCT 36, took place and Thorsteinn Einarsson won the prize with the song 'Symphony' and will represent the country in the contest. Thorsteinn Einarsson firstly represented Austria in ESCT 17 with the song called 'Leya', gaining 32 points and finishing 17th in the semi-finals. Ten editions later he tried to come back, entering Austrian national selection. He finished 3rd, 3 points away from the winner Kitty in a Casket. He came back to the contest in ESCT 31, not for Austria, but for Iceland, this time reaching the final where he finished 22nd with 81 points. He entered this time again in the national final of Austria, he clearly won his semi-final with the public vote and he also dominated the final of one of the strongest national selection of our country. Might be this his lucky 3rd time? There was no man winning ESCT since the 23rd edition and we hope that he might be able to break the ice in Ghent.
