This year’s application form contains file attachments in form of mp3 files for audio backing tracks and also jpg files for your portrait photos. That’s why you need to sign in to your Google user account.

WE DON’T ACCEPT NEW APPLICATION FORMS

Why is it important to fill out this application as soon as possible?
Two or more contestants could apply with the same song, but only one singer can sing one song. The contestant, who signed application first, is allowed to keep the song and all other contestants, should choose another song.

What is Google user account?
Don’t be afraid. In case you use Gmail or any other Google Service, you already have Google user account.
