Press Release
The Belarusian delegation composed of the Deputy Chair of Belteleradiocompany Marat Markov, coordinator of the projects of Belteleradiocompany and EBU Olga Salamakha and the head of the Eurovision project in Belarus Olga Shliager will take part in the meeting of the heads of contest delegation in Vienna (Austria).
As Olga Shliager informed by phone, they presented to the organizers of the show a package of materials, necessary for participation of Uzari & Maimuna, official representatives of Belarus, in the contest.
"The final order of the performance in semi-finalists will be defined by the producers after the meetings, when they watch the programs of all semi-finalists. In total, I would like to point out that the participants (there will be a record number of them this year - 40) and guests of the 60th jubilee Eurovision contest will enjoy a very intense program. Vienna, as a classical sample of musical art, is "living" with the oncoming contest. The organizers thought out every thing till the latest detail: starting from convenient transport communication till free travel of the members of delegation and convenient location of the contest sites, according to the principle of "walking distance". On May 17 the delegations of all Eurovision-2015 member states will walk along the "Red Carpet", pointed out Olga Shliager.
Some details of the concert ground design were revealed as well. The main scene and the green room will be connected by a magic bridge, which the participants will be passing before their performance. The fans will be able to closely watch their favorite performers. Like in the previous year, they decided to locate the green room in the concert hall itself, and not in the next premises. 26 cameras will be working on the site.
"The idea of the contest this year is to break barriers between people. A broadcast for people with visions and hearing imparity will be organized during the show. A scene in the form of an eye will symbolize the unity of nations and peaceful message that can be conveyed by music. This year the organizers of the show found a brilliant idea for vide visiting cards, which will precede the performance of every participant during the show broadcast. On March 17 Minsk will host the shooting of the first part of the Belarusian visiting card of Belarus, and on March 25-27 Uzari & Maimuna will take part in the shooting in Vienna", added Olga Shliager. The international contest Eurovision-2015 will be held on May 19-23.
The live broadcast of two semi-finals and the final will be traditionally held by all TV channels of Belteleradiocompany - "Belarus 1" and international satellite TV channel "Belarus 24".
