This year, the Eurovision Connect steering committee received 250 entries from 24 countries across nine categories. The committee shortlisted 45 entries based not only on the visual and audio impact of a promotion but also the original written brief, a short description of the target audience and the impact of the work in terms of viewing figures. The shortlisted entries were screened at the Eurovision Connect conference and participants were then able to vote for their favourite promos in real-time during the ceremony.
