Portugal: Festival da Canção Grand Finale Preview
This weekend, Portuguese broadcaster RTP will finish up its three-week festival of song with the grand final of its long-running national final Festival da Canção, which will be used to choose the Portuguese representative to the Eurovision Song Contest in Rotterdam.
Over the last two weeks, the Portuguese public alongside a panel of jury members have selected a total of ten participants from two semifinals to compete for the title from a pool of twenty songs, including eighteen of which were directly invited to participate by RTP and two who won an open call for submissions.
