Austria for ESC 2008
Sign Now
We, the loyal supporter and enthusiastic fans of the Eurovision Song Contest enjoy the participation of Austria in this joyful event. Sadly youve been discouraged by the failure of the participation in Finland in 2007 and decided not to take part in 2008. Wed like to motivate you herewith to take part again in this Contest.
Many countries are not much successful throughout many years and still keep on participating. Greece is a perfect example for this. It was mostly placed somewhere in the midfield but then won in 2005 the Eurovision Song Contest after over 30 years of trying. The same applies to Finland who waited over 40 years for their first win. Victory of the Eurovision Song Contests includes many important advantages, such as the tourism publicity.
But you shouldnt just participate because of the thought of victory. Just participating enables you to join a Europe wide festival and to make publicity for your country and the representative music scene. If Austria should keep on refusing its participation of the Eurovision Song Contest it also refuses a union of Europe. If Austria locks itself out it will be soon forgotten. It is very important not to be discouraged by its failures but to be highly motivated to have a success.
We truly believe in the potential of Austria and ask you with this petition to rethink your future Eurovision Song Contest strategy. The Eurovision Song Contest is an international project and this is why we have also international signatures from different countries to show you the big interest in Austria.
The new system of two semifinals increases Austria's chance to qualify for the finals . It has been confirmed by several reliable sources that the countries in the semifinal won't be divided in East and West but by a random draw.
The Eurovision Song Contest is an important place to show and promote a country. Countries like Austria need to be part of that event. If you will withdraw again it wouldn't be very good for the Austrian image and reputation . Not only ORF, the whole country might be considered as being sore losers.
