Skopje Fest
Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Template:Infobox television Script error: No such module "Lang". (Template:Langx), officially Script error: No such module "Lang". (Template:Langx), is one of the main musical events in North Macedonia, and formerly in Yugoslavia. The show, organized by national broadcaster Macedonian Radio Television (MRT), involves some of North Macedonia's most popular performers, singing original tracks usually accompanied by the orchestra of MRT (excluding some of its latest editions).
History
The festival began in 1968 at the Universal Hall in Skopje, and continued until 1980. Eminent Macedonian and Yugoslav singers such as Slave Dimitrov, Zafir Hadzimanov and Nina Spirova performed at Script error: No such module "Lang". in that period. Script error: No such module "Lang". was revived in 1994, after Macedonia gained its independence from Yugoslavia, and has since taken over Script error: No such module "Lang". as North Macedonia's chief music festival.
Since the late 1990s, Script error: No such module "Lang". has also been used as the Template:Esccnty for the Eurovision Song Contest. The first Macedonian representative in Eurovision, Vlado Janevski, won Script error: No such module "Lang". 1998 with the song "Script error: No such module "Lang"." and went on to perform at the Eurovision Song Contest 1998. Ever since, Script error: No such module "Lang". has been shadowed by many controversial debates regarding the strategies behind the song selections and the lack of transparence concerning the winner. Such allegations are not new to the contest, however, they intensified as the Eurovision participation became a factor. After the decision to make Script error: No such module "Lang". the national Macedonian selection round, the traditional point award ceremony was eliminated and replaced by the controversial announcement of only the top three places. Neither the points of the jury nor the televoting results are made public.
Up until 2002, Script error: No such module "Lang". used to be the biggest musical activity in the country. However, it has faced financial problems since then. In 2003, the festival was not held in order to save money to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest. It returned in 2004 only to celebrate the 60th anniversary of MRT. After that, financial problems increased and the festival was not organised until 2008, when it was again used as the national final for Eurovision. In 2011, it was announced that Script error: No such module "Lang". would continue being held as an independent event without being involved in the Macedonian selection process for the Eurovision Song Contest 2012.[1] It was used again as the Macedonian national final for the Eurovision Song Contest 2015, being dropped since then in favor of internal selections.[2]
