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.[3] These rumours were confirmed by ORF in the end of July 2010.[4]

Selection process

ORF and radio station Hitradio Ö3 are cooperating to find the artists for the national final. From October until 10 December, Austrians were invited to nominate artists that could represent their country.[5][6]

Every nomination must be backed by at least 33 people. From the admitted artists, a jury will decide which 30 artists procede to the online voting to be held in January 2011.[7][8] Those artists receiving the most votes will be asked to participate in the national final on 25 February 2011, where televoting will decide which act will represent the country.[1][2][9][10]

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.[11]

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 as well as other well-known Austrian artists : Alkbottle, Excuse Me Moses, Luttenberger-Klug, as well as Nadine Beiler and Oliver Wimmer, winners of seasons 3 (Beiler) and 4 (Wimmer) of the talent show Starmania. The entrepreneur and 1998 presidential candidate Richard Lugner will also take part in the selection.[6][12] Former Eurovision participants admitted to the selection are: Waterloo (Hans Kreuzmayr) as well as Robinson, who represented Austria together as the duo Waterloo & Robinson in the Eurovision Song Contest 1976, Petra Frey (1994), Alf Poier, Austria's representant in 2003, and di Bernando, part of the boyband Tie Break who represented Austria in 2004.[12][2]

Furthermore, German Idol series runner-up Menowin Fröhlich had stated in June 2010 that he wants to represent Austria in the Eurovision Song Contest.[3] 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.[13]

At Eurovision

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