Once again, Hungary will be using their national final “A Dal” in order to select their entry for the upcoming contest to be held in Tel-Aviv. The national final has proven it’s success for Hungary, resulting in Hungary always being among the finalists at Eurovision since the show was launched back in 2012, albeit with some ups and downs with the final results.
