Armenia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2007

As one of the ten highest placed finishers in 2006, Armenia automatically qualified to compete in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest.

However, AMPTV announced along with their participation confirmation that a national final would be organized to select for the 2007 Armenian entry.

All shows in the competition took place at the AMPTV studios in Yerevan, hosted by Gohar Gasparyan and Armenian Eurovision 2006 entrant André and broadcast on Channel 1.

The first stage was a submission period where artists and songwriters had the opportunity to apply by submitting their entries online.

The broadcaster also reserved the right to select a wildcard act to proceed to the final out of the non-qualifying entries from both semi-finals.

The seven entries that qualified from the preceding two semi-finals competed and the winner, "Anytime You Need" performed by Hayko, was selected by a professional jury.

As one of the ten highest placed finishers in the 2006 contest, Armenia automatically qualified to compete in the final on 12 May 2007.

The LED screens projected snowflakes rushing through red trees that formed large heart symbols at all sides and the stage lighting displayed white colours.
