From 30 entries, 18 semi-finalists will compete at A Dal 2018, Hungary’s national selection for Eurovision 2018. But of those 18, only one will be heading to Lisbon in May. To help you make an informed decision on who to pay attention to, the Wiwi Jury – our in-house panel of music unprofessionals – will preview and review each of this year’s acts. We’re ready to pick our favourite for Hungary!
Our jury for this edition consists of 10 jurors who come from Australia, Hungary, Lithuania, New Zealand, Romania, Spain and the United Kingdom. Each juror assesses each song independently, and awards each song a score from 0 to 10. Before calculating the Wiwi Jury verdict, we drop the highest and lowest scores to reduce potential bias and outliers.
We’ll be unrolling these one by one over the coming weeks. You can read the completed reviews by clicking on the song title.
