Austria will return to the Eurovision Song Contest in 2011 in Düsseldorf, Germany, after previously entering in 2007 with Eric Papilaya singing "Get a Life – Get Alive", placing second to last in the semi-final. Austria will select their entry through a televised national final, organised by Austrian broadcaster Österreichischer Rundfunk (ORF)

Rumours about return

Some days after the final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 rumours about Austria's return to Eurovision were spread.[1]. These rumours were confirmed by ORF in the end of July 2010.[2]

National Final 2011

There will be five candidates in the Austrian final in the end of February. ORF and radio station Hitradio Ö3 are cooperating to find these artists. Since October, Austrians are invited to nominate artists that could represent their country.[3]

Every nomination should be backed by at least 33 people. If that is the case a vote will take place and those artists receiving the most votes will be asked to participate in the national final, where a professional jury in combination with televoting will decide which act will represent the country.[4][5]

The show would be divided in two parts: the first one, intended to present the songs in competition, and the second one featuring the hopefuls and guests singing Eurovision classics.[6]

Among the candidates which have been admitted by ORF so far to the selection process are also several former Eurovision representants and talent show winners : Nadine Beiler and Oliver Wimmer, winners of seasons 3 (Beiler) and 4 (Wimmer) of the talent show Starmania, Hans Kreuzmayr alias Waterloo, part of the duo Waterloo & Robinson who represented Austria in the Eurovision Song Contest 1976, and di Bernando, part of the boyband Tie Break who represented Austria in 2004.[7]

Furthermore, German Idol series runner-up Menowin Fröhlich had stated in June 2010 that he wants to represent Austria in the Eurovision Song Contest.[1] In addition, ORF programme director Wolfgang Lorenz, speaking to press agency APA, said that candidats or the winner from the talent show Helden von Morgen might take part as well in the selection process for Eurovision.[8]

At Eurovision

Austria will compete in one of the two semi-finals of the contest, on 10 or 12 May 2010.
