Estonia will participate in the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 in Copenhagen, Denmark. Their entry will be selected through Eesti Laul 2014, a national final format consisting of two semi-finals and a final, organised by the Estonian broadcaster Eesti Rahvusringhääling (ERR).
Eesti Laul 2014
Eesti Laul 2014 will be the sixth edition of the Estonian national selection Eesti Laul that will select Estonia's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2014. The format of the competition will include two semi-finals on 14 and 21 February and a final on 1 March 2014. Ten songs will compete in each semi-final where the top five from each semi-final will qualify to compete in the final.[1]
On 2 October 2013, ERR opened the submission period for artists and composers to submit their entries, which lasted until 9 December 2013.[2] 189 submissions were received by the deadline - the highest amount since the conception of the Eesti Laul format.[3] A jury selected 20 semi-finalists from the submissions and the selected songs were announced during the entertainment program Ringvaade on 12 December 2013.[3] The selection jury consisted of Maarja-Liis Ilus (singer), Janek Murd (musician), Erik Morna (Raadio 2 head of music), Siim Nestor (music critic), Kaupo Karelson (television producer), Valner Valme (music critic), Tauno Aints (composer), Ingrid Kohtla (music editor), Owe Petersell (Raadio Elmar chief editor), Toomas Puna (Raadio Sky+ program director) and Kostja Tsõbulevski (musician).[1]
