Eurovision again, this time with a jury to avoid Chikilicuatres

The public will select the candidates, and the winner, but between those two steps you will have a jury that prevents Eurovision in 2009 to reach a representative Spanish so peculiar as last year's, Rodolfo Chikilicuatre.

For the second consecutive year, RTVE.es and MySpace join forces with the aim of finding the Spanish representative at Eurovision, in a selection process that this year includes two innovations: the first, that a mixed system, public and the jury will be in charge of electing the candidate Spanish, and the second, opening a parallel selection process to find the fifth member of the jury.

The introduction of the jury explained from TVE as a parallel with the very organization of the festival, which this year will incorporate a jury to "to avoid the vote of the diaspora," meaning that countries are voted by affinity in the next Festival the song, to be held in Moscow on May 16.

The dates of nomination and the contest

From yesterday and until December 17, applicants can submit their candidatures to the MySpace page (www.myspace.com/eurovision2009). The announcement of the list of candidates will be made pubic on Friday, December 19, the day which will begin voting Users will have one month to vote: until Jan. 19.

Shortly after announcing the final list of candidates, a total of 50, formed by the five artists or groups voted for each of the ten categories. All of them will participate in special programs that some Spanish Television delivered during the month of February. They come from the ten finalists who were beat in a special program at the last to be decided, finally, who will get the ticket to travel to Moscow.

The requirements for participation

The candidates to represent the Spanish Television should have Spanish citizenship or prove residency in Spain for at least two years, have an original song and unpublished until October 2008 and own intellectual property rights and industrial and have completed the song 16. As for the issues, have a maximum duration of 3 minutes and the letter (in any language) can not be confrontational, disrespectful or contain ideological messages.

And then, very easy: prospective candidates have to create a profile of your musical group or of themselves on MySpace, uploading songs that present the profile and make sure that is affixed to the top of the songs you have on your player audio from your profile; record your video presentation and upload it to the profile and fill out the form.

To be the fifth member of the jury

May register music professionals who can show not tied to any candidate to represent Spain in the Junior Eurovision 2009.

The process they have to make the jury candidates is similar to that of the candidates onto the stage in Moscow: to create a profile on MySpace, record a video presentation of the candidacy, explaining who believes that should have won the festival last year , And fill out the form.
