Tour Dates  on Celticcafe.com

The preliminary judging panel and the final judging committee will make their selections employing the following criteria:

a) suitability of the song for the ESC
b) quality of the singer/performer(s)
c) experience of the singer/performer(s)
d) stage appeal of the entry

The composition of the final judging committee selecting the six finalists will reflect songwriting, performance arts and television production and will be chaired by Bill Hughes, who has extensive experience of television and stage production in both music and dance and is a keen follower of the Eurovision Song Contest.

Eurosong 2008 will be a high quality live entertainment show, to be held in a venue to be announced, in February 2008. The RTÉ Eurosong producer and team will work with each of the six finalist acts in advance of the Eurosong 2008 television show, to prepare them for performing for the TV audience.

Ireland’s entry for the ESC 2008 will be selected from the six finalists by a public televote to be held on the night of Eurosong 2008, the winning entry to be the one that gets the highest number of televotes on the night.

Following selection of the winning entry, RTÉ will appoint a producer/creative director and team to work with the songwriter(s) and performer(s) to mould the winning song and performance for the ESC in May 2008, it being recognised by the songwriter(s) and performer(s) that while RTE will obviously consult with them in this respect RTÉ is obliged to retain final decision and control over the arrangement, performance, staging and recording of the winning entry for the purposes of ESC 2008.

http://www.rte.ie/tv/eurovision2008/

The views of a new Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) consultative committee setup in the wake of Ireland’ s dismal result in the 2007 show, has recommended 3 things:

1. bigger productions
2. it has become a performance contest,
3. as much as a song contest.

National competition

A New strategy is being adopted - according the RTE, they ” will be selecting our ESC 2008 entry by means of a national competition, to be called Eurosong 2008. This approach will not be unlike the National Song Contest of previous years, but will encourage innovation not only in music but also in visual presentation, in keeping with the ESC contests we’ve seen in recent years.

With that aim, RTÉ is inviting entries that include the song, the singer(s) and any proposed performance/staging details. In this scenario, it is expected that song entries will have singers attached when the entries are being submitted and that singers submitting entries will have agreed with the song composer that they will perform that song composer’s entry.

The closing date for entries will be at noon on Monday, the 21st of January 2008. Entries should be submitted to Fidelma Kelly, RTÉ Entertainment, Donnybrook, Dublin 4. ”
