National final[]

The Ukrainian national final took place on 9 March 2007 at the NTU Studios in Kyiv, hosted by Maria Orlova and Timur Miroshnychenko and broadcast on the First National TV Channel.

Competing entries[]

Artists and composers had the opportunity to submit their entries via an online submission form which accepted entries between 24 January 2007 and 10 February 2007.[1] A selection panel reviewed the 18 received submissions and shortlisted eight entries to compete in the national final. On 13 February 2007, the eight selected competing acts were announced.[2] On 22 February 2007, Vitaliy Kozlovskiy withdrew from the national final due to disagreements with the selection format.[3]

Final[]

The final took place on 9 March 2007. Seven entries competed and the winner, "Dancing Lasha Tumbai" performed by Verka Serduchka, was selected through the combination of votes from a public televote and an expert jury. Ties were decided in favour of the entries that received higher scores from the jury.[4] The jury panel consisted of Vladimir Grishko (opera singer), Svyatoslav Vloh (World Dance Sport Federation President), Oksana Novitskaya (Confederation of Designers and Stylists of Ukraine Vice President), Olena Mozgova (NTU Head of Entertainment) and Vitaliy Dokalenko (NTU General Director).[3] 17,597 votes were registered by the televote during the show.[5] In addition to the performances of the competing entries, 2007 Belarusian Eurovision entrant Dmitry Koldun, 2007 Maltese Eurovision entrant Olivia Lewis, 2007 Polish Eurovision entrant The Jet Set and 2007 Romanian Eurovision entrants Todomondo performed as guests.[6]
