Georgia has selected its contestant for the 2016 Eurovision song competition.
Nika Kocharov and Young Georgian Lolitaz have been chosen to represent Georgia at the international song contest in Sweden next spring.
Georgia's Eurovision producer Natia Uznadze announced the winner today, and also called on the public for song submissions that the band could play in next year’s competition.
Composers with experience in the band's performing genre can write a song for them. Five songs will be shortlisted from the submissions, with the final winner selected by the jury and the audience," Uznadze said.
