Australia: Artist for Eurovision 2017 chosen
Who will represent Australia at Eurovision Song Contest 2017? Soon we will know the answer.
The Managing Director of Australian broadcaster SBS, Michael Ebeid has just signed-off on their big plans for Eurovision Song Contest 2017.
The participant and song for Australia's third Eurovision will be revealed "very soon":
In 2015 Australia was granted a wildcard and invited to participate – but only once, according to EBU. In 2016 Australia again joined the Eurovision family because of the "...feedback we got from viewers, fans, press and the broadcasters...", said Executive supervisor Jon Ola Sand last year.
And in October 2016 it was revealed that the Aussies are back for Eurovision Song Contest 2017.
