Serbia Sings for Vienna

At the invitation of Vladimir Graic and RTS, in just twelve days, over two hundred aspiring talents have sent their applications in hope of representing Serbia at the forthcoming Eurovision Song Contest. They are now awaiting the auditions that are to be held in different towns in Serbia. The first one will be held in Nis on November 17th.

Vladimir Graic continues to scout for an aspiring performer who is to participate at the national selection event where Serbian representative for the 60th anniversary edition of the Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna will be chosen. The recordings that potential candidates have sent to Vladimir Graic via Email are now being reviewed. Upon the completion of the reviewing process, Mr. Graic will chose the best applicants and the candidates will be invited to the audition in the town they have indicated in their application.

- I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of performances I've heard so far. Hence, it is not going to be easy choosing the one that stands out among them - says Vladimir Graic. I have reviewed a considerable chunk of the one minute recordings of domestic pop/rock songs that were sent to me by the potential candidates over the past twelve days. Upon reviewing all the recordings, I am going to make a selection of best performers that we are going to hear at the auditions in six Serbian towns. This is yet another proof that there is an abundance of talented artists in our country who often don't get a chance to display their talents. This way we are providing them with an opportunity - adds Graic.

Towns and locations where the auditions will be held have been established:

November 17 NIŠ - Puppet Theatre
November 19 ZAJEČAR - "Zoran Radmilović" Theatre
November 21 KRAGUJEVAC - Youth Center
November 24 UŽICE - Town Cultural Center
November 26 NOVI SAD - Spens, amphitheater
November 28 BEOGRAD - Children's Cultural Center

Aspiring musicians from different parts of Serbia have been given a unique opportunity to compete with the popular stars and demonstrate their talents. One of them will get a chance to sing one of the three songs composed by Vladimir Graic live at the final national selection event in February 2015.

Two popular singers and one aspiring performer will be competing at this event, and the viewers' votes will decide the winner who is going to represent Serbia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2015.
