His later internally chosen contribution to the Eurovision Song Contest will only be presented at a later date.
format
concept
Georgian Idol is the Georgian offshoot of the British talent show Pop Idol and was broadcast annually from 2008 to 2013. In 2017 the format returned under the name Georgian Idol and in 2019 was used to select both the interpreter and the song for the Eurovision Song Contest. For 2020, only the artist was selected for the show. The program was again produced by Nova Productions .
Voting procedure
While in the castings only the jury determined the result, in the live shows only the viewers could vote for their favorites via televoting and via Facebook via Messenger.
Choice of contribution
The later entry for the Eurovision Song Contest will be selected internally by GPB with the winner.
