Format
Competing countries who are members of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) are eligible to participate in Eurovision Choir. Nine countries participated at the inaugural event in 2017. Each competing country was represented by a professional choir, and each performed a choral piece lasting no more than six minutes in length. Each piece may include singular or several musical works or of a free genre; but must contain national or regional influence from the participating country.
Participating countries
So far, Belgium,[3] Latvia, and Lithuania have confirmed their participation. Lithuania will be participating for the first time.[4] This will be the first Eurovision Choir under the direction of Martin Österdahl.
