COVER2COVER – T-SHIRT

On 23rd August 2020 we (ESC Covers, EuroVisionMusic, Eurovision Coverage and Destination Eurovision) started publishing pictures of  VICTOR BUSH modeling a Eurovision t-shirt and holding the promo material for that entry. It is to make artists aware of entering the COVER2COVER SINGING contest we were arranging. Having received just 3 entries by the end of August – one in each of the 3 categories, it was clear we cannot have a competition with just 3 local entries. We had a rethink over the concept. As of 1 October, the COVER2COVER concept will change but it won’t be a competition anymore. It will be a PROMOTION PLATFORM where we will give exposure and promotion to any Eurovision related cover – an artist can send us any such song whether it is a professional video, a home video of just an audio video. There are also no limit on how many songs/videos an artist can send. The closing date will be 28 February 2021 so we can look at all entries ahead of the 2021 Eurovision song contest in Rotterdam in May 2021. A radio station RADIO 5XSTEREO has joined us as a partner. Today we publish the 20th t-shirt. We are then taking a break until 1 October when the PROMOTION PLATFORM starts and will then publish the remaining 10 t-shirts and 10 Eurovision bags. So the 20th t-shirt is one is from 2018 Eurovision song contest in Lisbon, Portugal together together with the official double CD.
