Today is the last day for artists to submit their songs for Bangladesh’s selection for the Eurovision Song Contest Asia 2026. The rules of the selection state that songs must be original, no more than three minutes in length and feature no more than six performers on stage. Artists are strongly encouraged to work with a record label for the contest. Any unsigned artists that apply will be assigned to a label by Voxovation. Song submissions can be made here.
A total of 12 artists will be selected for the final. The 12 finalists will be revealed on June 21. The finalists will then undergo intensive training throughout July before the live final.
The live final will take place on August 23. The results will be decided through “mandatory public voting and optional jury voting”. Should a jury vote be used, public voting will decide 50% of the results, while the other 50% will be determined by jury voting. Public voting will take place through Zoop, the official sponsor of Eurovision Asia. Viewers must vote for at least three different songs to prevent “fan club advantages”. The winner will represent Bangladesh at the Eurovision Song Contest Asia 2026 in Bangkok.

Today is the last day that songs can be submitted to represent North Macedonia at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2026 in Malta.
For the song selection process, MRT is looking for songs that are at least 60% performed in Macedonian, which “are expected to carry a positive, emotional, inspirational or motivational message, with text and musical expression adapted to the age of the performer. The song should have a catchy melody, a strong and recognizable chorus, a modern production approach and room for authentic vocal and stage interpretation.”
Auditions were held earlier this month to select the singer or singers who will represent North Macedonia at Junior Eurovision 2026. MRT will internally select both the singer and the song that will be performed on October 24 at the 24th Junior Eurovision Song Contest.
