Watch now: Belarus to select for Malmö!

The Belarusian public broadcaster BTRC opted for a public selection to choose the 2013 Eurovision entry. More than 80 entries had been selected until the deadline, and out of these, an expert commission picked the ten most promising acts for the national final, to be held tonight from 20:00 until 21:30 CET.

In the final, a 50/50 combination of a professional jury and the televoting public will decide on the winning act that will go on stage for Belarus in Malmö. Tonight's trophy will be a variety of the well-known Eurovision heart symbol, made from glass.

The national final will be presented by Olga Ryzhikova and Denis Dudinsky. During the interval, Aleksandra & Konstantin, who were the very first Belarusian Eurovision representatives in 2004, as well as Koldun, who yielded the best Eurovision placing for Belarus to date with Work Your Magic in 2007, will perform.

This is the line-up of tonight's show, in order of appearance:

• Vitaliy Voronko - I Wonder How You
• Max Lawrence - I Love Your Charming Eyes
• Alyona Lanskaya - Rhythm Of Love
• Yankey - Letter To Mother
• Beaver Band - Incredible Girl
• Daria - Catch Me Again
• Uzari - Secret
• Alexei Gross - One Way Love
• Nuteki - Save Me
• Satsura - Get Out Of My Way
