TVR board meeting approves Romania’s Eurovision 2027 participation
Recently, Romania’s national broadcaster held a board meeting to decide Romania’s Eurovision future. Following the meeting TVR confirmed that with 11 votes in favour and only one abstention, Romania will be participating in the Eurovision Song Contest 2027. Next year’s participation in neighbouring Bulgaria will be funded through the TVR Income and Expenditure Budget.
Along with the success of Alexandra Căpitănescu, TVR are hoping an early announcement of intent will provide artists, songwriters and producers with sufficient time to prepare. As well as allowing TVR executives time to organise the format and schedule for Selecția națională 2027. The aim is to attract established artists while also promoting new artists both domestically and internationally.
