Hello everyone and welcome to the 25th edition of Eurovision Theme Contest! The winner of ETC 23 was once again Niko, and so he decided this theme. This edition is dedicated to objects which are not alive and so it's name is
ALL KINDS OF OBJECTS
It is time to call here our presenters, the Corsican singer who won ETC 22. Please welcome
PATRICK FIORI
Patrick: Hello my all friends and welcome to the 25th Eurovision Theme Song edition together with me. I am very pleased to be here with all of you and it is always great to see songs competing about the victory.

THE RULES
01 - Don't reveal anyone your own entry.
02 – Listen and watch all the 18 videos very carefully.
03 – Send your votes to Niko by PM, email or in msn, using the traditional ESC voting system giving the best song 12 pts, then 10 pts and 08 – 01 pts. You may of course not vote for your own entry.
04 – Deadline for voting is Sunday, September 12th which means exactly 3 weeks from today.
Patrick: I think this was all now. I let you start watching at the videos and we will meet again in a little bit more than 3 weeks. Niko will start posting the videos in a moment. I wish all of you best possible luck and may the most beloved song win
