Some radio people are trying to establish the New Music Award as new national final. The first edition took place in 2008, the current winners are electro group Captain Capa. The famous band Kraftklub won in 2010.
All nine ARD youth radio stations (MDR Sputnik, You FM, Radio Fritz, Bremen Vier, DasDing, NJoy, on3-radio, UnserDing, 1Live) take part, each of them sends an act to the final. There are no rules about the selection, many broadcasters are organizing their own pre-contests.
As first radio station Bremen Vier is asking it's listeners for the act for this years final in Berlin. Two bands are in the running:
I really like the idea, last years line up was great.
I would like to see a German schlager (not tailored for ESC like in 2001, 2003) for a change but I know that is impossible with NDR. Anyway, I hope they get rid off the idol format and better let unknown artists have a chance to compete with songs.
