Entry bios - template

The 'Rules' post referred to the short bio you’ll need to submit to go with your entry. Below are the details you should include; I’ll write the final bios myself to ensure they remain as anonymous as they can be.

These are the details you’ll have to provide for your entry:

1. Name of entry

2. Country and year allocated to

3. Name of artist

4. Where artist is from

5. Whether they have any connection to ESC

6. Year of release of entry

7. Short explanation of why you feel your entry is a good match for the year and country you've allocated it to and any other information you feel is relevant

I'll use my own entry from last year as an example.

1. Ollaan hiljaa vain

2. Finland 1984

3. Anja Niskanen

4. Helsinki

5. None

6. 1984

7. Niskanen was very much in the mould of Sweden’s Carola, and had she participated in the Finnish national final that year with this simple pop song she may well have been selected to represent the country in Luxembourg.

Something along those lines, at any rate. True, if all of the entries are equally authentic there won’t be any room for argument... but there’ll be arguments regardless ;)

So don’t just think about your entry – think about how you’ll pitch it to other voters, too!
