Its down to 4!

Written by spiller. Posted in Countdown

The eadline for submissions to host the 56th Eurovision Song Contest was reached yesterday. Four cities have submitted bids according to TheLocal.de. They are:

  • Berlin
  • Düsseldorf
  • Hannover
  • Hamburg

NDR will make a decision by the end of the summer.

According to TheLocal.de, Hamburg is basing its bid on the short routes from the Train Station to Hotels and venues. It is also using its central location to boost its prospects.

Hannover has worked with the state of Lower Saxony and Deutsche Messe AG to put together a packet which a spokesman for the city said made them optimistic. Hannover is also Lena’s home town.

Düsseldorf stressed its history as a host for conferences and trade fairs as well as its international connections and cosmopolitan nature

Berlin was the first out of the starting blocks announcing its candidacy shortly after Germany’s win. Berlin is also the favourite of Lena.

Which of the four do you want it to be held in?
