Germany will participate in the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 in Copenhagen, Denmark. The German entry will be selected through the national final Unser Song für Dänemark, which will be organised by the German broadcaster Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR).
Unser Song für Dänemark
Unser Song für Dänemark (Our Song for Denmark) will be the competition that will select Germany's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2014. On 6 September 2013, NDR announced that the German national final would take place at the Lanxess Arena in Cologne on 13 March 2014.[1] Like in the previous four years, the national final will be co-produced by the production company Brainpool, which also co-produced the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest in Düsseldorf and the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest in Baku.[1] Eight artists will participate in the competition with two songs each; seven of the participants will be established artists, while the eighth participant will come from a club concert wildcard round for young talents.[2] Both the club concert wildcard round and the national final will be hosted by Barbara Schöneberger with Janin Reinhardt reporting from the green room during both shows.[3][4]
Club concert – wildcard round
German singer Adel Tawil headed the campaign to find young talents that are interested in representing Germany at the Eurovision Song Contest 2014.[5] A submission period was open from 25 November 2013 until 22 January 2014 during which artists were required to upload a video with a performance of an original song or a cover version on YouTube and submit an online application.[2] 2,240 artists had applied at the close of the submission deadline from which ten finalists will be selected by a special jury.[6] On 10 February 2014, NDR announced the ten acts for the wildcard round.[7] On 27 February 2014, the selected artists will compete during a live broadcast from Edelfettwerk in Hamburg where televoting will ultimately decide which artist will receive a wildcard to compete in the German national final.[2]
