ORF internal Eurovision selection process
Overview
The Austrian broadcaster ORF has shortlisted eleven acts for the 2027 Eurovision Song Contest. Following a submission period that ended on September 18, scouts identified candidates to proceed to the next stage of an internal selection process.
In early November, the shortlisted artists are scheduled to participate in live auditions at the ORF Center in Küniglberg. A jury of media experts and fans will evaluate the performances to provide recommendations, though the final decision remains with ORF Program Director Stefanie Groiss-Horowitz. While the specific identities of the eleven acts have not been disclosed, reports indicate that at least one returning artist may be included.
