    For the first time in the history of Eurovision, EBU defined a new rule to all countries for the participation process. With the official "News Letter" that has been send in all national broadcasters witch are in the range of EBU explains that: the official opening for the statements will be in September 15th and will be open till 10th of October, and for the first time there will be no “penalties” if a country decides to withdraw.
    Eurovision 2015 may be far but EBU and ORF give us the feeling that the contest of 2015 will be with strictly professionalism, after all Austria already shown that they have taken Eurovision Song Contest very seriously! We hope to see more than 37 countries in Eurovision 2015, till then we have to patiently wait for the Biggest Event in worldwide music.
