Made in Ireland 5 | Information and Jury Applications

Once again RTÉ have opted for a national selection to select their entry, that will follow the same format as it did the last edition.

There will be 12 songs in the final, each with a broadcaster behind them; this is how those 12 will be chosen:

Juries
Here broadcasters can apply to mentor an act in Made in Ireland 5 - they will be given the choice of two singers (one mentor will receive two foreign acts) and will then have to pick which of the acts they should mentor, and which of those act's songs should be sent. 10 songs will come through this method. Broadcasters will have until the 20th to apply. Both NBU members and NBU associate broadcasters can apply.

RTÉ's new role
In the previous edition RTE mentored an act in the same way any other broadcaster would, but for this edition RTE will be able to pick an act for the 9 acts not chosen by the broadcasters (excluding the foreign act) to mentor.

Celtic Language
One of the 12 songs will be in a Celtic language (Welsh, Irish,Scottish Gaelic, Brenton, Cornish and Manx). For this edition it will be selected by the Croatian broadcaster.
