Azerbaijan has picked their 13th Eurovision artist. The Azeri broadcaster, Ictimai Television, has internally picked Samira Efendi to represent the land of fire, Azerbaijan, at Eurovision Song Contest 2020 in Rotterdam.

Samira has been internally selected by the broadcaster out of five artists: Samira Efendi, Laman Dadashova, Elvin Novruzov, Jabrayil Rasulov and Riad Abdulov.

The decision was made by the Azeri broadcaster, based on votes from an international panel, including authors, composers, producers, journalists and television industry representatives.
