Germany is getting closer and closer to finding their Eurovision act 2021. After an automatic nomination of Ben Dolic, Germany’s representative 2020, has been denied, the responsible broadcaster NDR is going to do an internal selection process just like last time, consisting of an Eurovision jury made by music experts and Eurovision fans and an international jury from former Eurovision jury members. Unlike other years, the German public itself has no influence on the result. Based on the poor results at Eurovision in previous years (except Michael Schulte’s 4th place in 2018) a change of the selection process was necessary. 

Even though the German act will be selected soon, that doesn’t necessarily mean an immediate announcement. Ben Dolic said in an interview that his nomination has been made months before the actual announcement on 27th February 2020. So a long gap between the decision and public announcement can be expected again.
