Today, Nepal will select its first entry for the Eurovision Song Contest Asia, with the final of Nepal Decides.

Nepal Decides, the Nepalese selection show, will take place today live from Kathmandu. Eleven acts are competing in the selection, all hoping to be the first Nepalese representative for Eurovision Asia. The winner of the Nepalese selection will be determined by 40% jury voting, 40% online voting in Nepal and 20% international online voting.

The acts and their songs are):

Allam Aadesh – “Byakta”

Amit Baral – “Sundar Sansar”

Amrita Limbu – “Madhos Raat”

Beyond – “Control”

Bullet Flo x Preeti Kaur – “Golden Danfe”

Meghna Gewali – “Kanchi Nani”

Nirmala Ghale – “Khoi”

Pratik Himal Rai – “Ananta Maya”

Prithvi Khanal – “Dhumba Talai Ma”

RC Rimal – “Maya Bistarai”

Suraj Tamang – “Gorkhali Keto”

Nepal Decides had originally been scheduled to take place on 19 September. However, due to the recent flash flooding that hit northern Nepal and neighbouring Tibet, impacting the districts of Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Dhading, Gorkha and Tanahun in Nepal, it was postponed.

The selection show is live from 19:30 NPT (15:45 CEST). You can watch the show on Himalaya TV and YouTube.
