Less than five months after the 2014 edition in Copenhagen, Macedonia’s preparations for the upcoming contest in May are already well underway. Today, the Macedonian broadcaster MRT announced the 20 hopefuls that will be competing for a ticket to Vienna. Over 200 songs were submitted to the competition.

After having stuck to internal selections in the past few years, the traditional Skopje Fest will be used to determine the Macedonian representative for 2015. The show is scheduled to take place on 12 November in the Metropolis Arena in Skopje. The voting system will be a 50/50 combination of televotes and jury votes.
