Czechia’s broadcaster CT has announced that the deadline of submissions for its Eurovision 2024 selection has been extended by one day to November 7.
Extended due to technical difficulties
Announcing on social media, the extension was due to the fact that the submission page was down for a couple of hours today, when submissions were due to originally close.
Due to technical difficulties, the submission page was down for a couple of hours today, so we’ve decided to move the deadline to 7th of November 2023. At 23:59 CET
We do apologize for the inconvenience!
Interested artists are able to make their submissions right here, and will close tomorrow, November 7 at 23:59CET.
Czechia’s Eurovision Journey
Czechia made their debut in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2007, with Kabát’s “Malá dama”. However, their debut entry finished last in a 28-song semi-final, scoring only 1 point. Afterwards, this kicked off three consecutive non-qualifications, with their best result coming in 2008, finishing in second-last place. Having withdrawn in 2009 due to poor results, Czechia returned to the Contest in 2015. In 2016, Czechia qualified for the first time with Gabriela Gunciková’s “I Stand”.
In 2023, Vesna represented Czechia with their song “My Sister’s Crown”. Performing in the first semi-final in Liverpool, the band qualified for the final – and finished in 10th place in a field of 26 with 129 points. Of these, 94 points came from the juries and 35 points came from the televote.
