The auditions for the Georgian Idol competition have begun in Tbilisi. The eventual winners will represent Georgia at the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest in Tel Aviv, Israel next May.

Auditions will go out around the country to find the best acts to take part in the popular contest.

We may well see some familiar faces from previous national selections and Junior Eurovision and, of course, some new faces.

The shows will be broadcast on GPB tv from 1 January 2019.

ESC Covers will bring you updates as we have them.

See below some photos of acts auditioning in Tbilisi (courtesy of Georgian Idol page on Facebook).
