After the 20 top artists who will fight for a ticket to the Vidbir 2025 final, Suspilne opened the voting window for the Ukrainian national final jury today. The public will be the ones to choose the 3 people they want to see as jury from the potential 10 candidates this crucial night of song selection for Eurovision 2025.

As we informed you, the result of Vidbir 2025 will be decided 50% by the public and 50% by the jury. This jury will again be selected by the public through the Diia application. Voting procedure started today and will remain open until December 23, and the candidates are as follows:

Andriy Hutsulyak: Producer and member of the band TVORCHI. Ukraine’s representative at Eurovision 2023.
Jamala: Winner of Eurovision 2016, awarded the Shevchenko Prize in 2024.
Dmytro Zezyulin: Leader of the indie pop band LATEXFAUNA, singer and songwriter.
Kateryna Pavlenko: Singer, composer and lyricist. The frontwoman of the band Go_A, where they won fifth place at Eurovision 2021.
Oleg Psiuk: Singer, songwriter. The leader of the bands KALUSH and Kalush Orchestra, winners of Eurovision 2022 in Turin.
Anna Sviridova: Already 26 years in the media, she has been a television and radio presenter, program director of Radio Friday, and host of the YouTube project MuzRoom.
Serhiy Tanchynets: Singer, musician, producer and leader of the rock band WITHOUT LIMITS.

Based on the results, a final score will be formed. The three candidates who will receive the highest number of votes from the public will be asked to sign a special jury member agreement. If one of the three cannot sign the agreement for serious reasons, the next candidate with the most votes will become a member of the jury.

We remind you that those artists who will not make it to the final of Vidbir 2025 will have their second chance, as the public will decide among them the one and only one who will qualify for the final.

The Vidbir 2025 final will be held in February, without a date being specified yet.
