Turkey Not Automatically Qualified for Final

Written by spiller. Posted in Countdown, ESC Final

Many of us thought with the one of the Big Four Countries winning the contest last year, the 2nd placed country would be automatically in the final. This will not be the case as reported by ESC Today after the recent reference group meeting in Belgrade. This means Turkey loses out on that potential as they came 2nd in Oslo.

Only Germany, France, Spain and the United Kingdom will be automatically in the final. That means the final next year will only have 24 countries. 10 from each semi. I wonder will this make anyone notice

Also the rule on when a song can be released has been changed. Now a song cannot be released before September 1st. It was previously October 1st.
