MKRTV's hunt for an original, unpublished and contemporary composition to represent North Macedonia at the Eurovision Song Contest in Turin is now over! Say hello to Andrea!

📺 Watch: Andrea – Circles

Andrea will perform Circles at the 66th Eurovision Song Contest, following an impressive victory at Za Evrosong, where 50% of the vote came from an international jury, and 50% came from an online vote.

The results went down to the wire with both Andrea and Viktor finishing on 20 points overall, and in the event of a tie it appears that the jury has the final say.
