CBC/Radio Canada will share details on how the country’s entry will be selected later this year, the EBU stated. The contest next year will be hosted in Bulgaria after it won the contest for the first time in May. The garish and usually good-natured competition involving pop acts from countries across Europe and beyond, now in its 70th year, was plunged into crisis this year by a dispute over Israel’s military offensive in Gaza in response to the Hamas-led attack on October 7, 2023. Eurovision participation is not strictly limited to geographic Europe but instead to members of the EBU, a broadcasting alliance that includes countries beyond the continent. Australia’s broadcaster SBS is an associate member, which enabled its original invitation. Last week CBC/Radio-Canada announced it had become a full member of the EBU, making it eligible to participate in the contest’s 71st edition next year.
