The boldest, brightest and most brilliantly-bizarre event in the music calendar is almost upon us: 2024's Eurovision Song Contest.
Hosted in Malmö, Sweden following Loreen's win with Tattoo in Liverpool last year, the Eurovision Grand Final will be held on Saturday May 11 2024. But, before that, each country must choose its fighter.
Former Years & Years star Olly Alexander is confirmed to represent the UK with Dizzy, a fella by the name of Baby Lasagna will be battling for Croatia with Rim Tim Tagi Dim and Ukraine's alyona alyona and Jerry Heil are current favourites with Teresa & Maria.
So, as each country selects its entrant ahead of this year's contest, we're here to round up all those chosen so far.

Speaking exclusively to The Euro Trip podcast in January 2024, BBC Studios’ Eurovision Executive Producer, Lee Smithurst, and BBC Music’s Commissioning Executive, Will Wilkin explained that the team are keen for the UK's entry to see commercial success; saying the ultimate goal is to secure a Number 1 single.
Will Wilkin revealed: "Our ambition is to win and for the single to go to Number 1, and for it to be another watershed moment for Eurovision for the UK.
"You have to make peace with what the worst case scenario is to reach the best.
"Everyone that enters Eurovision is aware of what the worst case scenario can be, but I believe this will be another huge growth spike in terms of what Eurovision means.
"We can measure that in a million different ways if we want to, but really we’re going there to win it.
"And we are going there to win it with a single that is an incredibly commercially successful single."
As it stands, Ukraine's Teresa & Maria by alyona alyona & Jerry Heil is bookies' favourite to win the 2024 contest; just ahead of La noia by Angelina Mango for Italy and Rim Tim Tagi Dim by Baby Lasagna for Croatia.
The 2024 Grand Final will be held at Malmö Arena in Malmö, Sweden.
