Austria participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in Baku, Azerbaijan. The Austrian entry was selected through a national final, organised by the Austrian broadcaster ORF. Trackshittaz represented Austria with the song "Woki mit deim Popo", which failed to qualify from the first semi-final, achieving 18th place with 8 points.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/history/by-year/contest?event=1573#Scoreboard )〕 ==National final== On 23 September 2011, ORF announced that their national selection will stay the same. The radio station Hitradio Ö3 once again played an important role. On 30 November 2011, ORF announced nine acts that qualified directly for the national final, which took place on 24 February 2012. The line-up of ten finalists was completed through an open call for songs. The interested artists were able to submit their entries until the end of December, and over 100 songs were submitted. On 9 January 2012, ORF announced that Mary Broadcast Band had been selected as the tenth act in the final. The finalist songs will be aired from 9 January 2012 on Hitradio Ö3. On 29 January 2012, it was announced that "Crazy Swing" by the band !DelaDap, was disqualified. ORF stated that the song had already been performed before the 1 September 2011 date when songs are eligible for the Eurovision Song Contest. On 3 February 2012, ORF announced that !DelaDap were given another chance and participated with the song "Don't Turn Around" instead. The final was hosted by Mirjam Weichselbraun (who would later host the Eurovision Song Contest 2015), Robert Kratky and Andi Knoll.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Austria in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
