Background
Шаблон:Main Prior to the 2002 contest, Austria has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest thirty-eight times since its first entry in Шаблон:Escyr.[1] The nation has won the contest on one occasion: in Шаблон:Escyr with the song "Шаблон:Lang" performed by Udo Jürgens.[2][3] Austria's least successful result has been last place, which they have achieved on seven occasions, most recently in Шаблон:Escyr.[4] Austria has also received nul points on three occasions; in Шаблон:Escyr, Шаблон:Escyr and 1991.[5]
The Austrian national broadcaster, Österreichischer Rundfunk (ORF), broadcasts the event within Austria and organises the selection process for the nation's entry. ORF confirmed their intentions to participate at the 2002 Eurovision Song Contest on 1 June 2001.[6] From 1995 to 2000, ORF has held an internal selection to choose the artist and song to represent Austria at the contest. Along with their participation confirmation, the broadcaster also announced that the Austrian entry for the 2002 contest would be selected through a national final. This method had last been used by ORF in 1994.[6][7]

Format
Ten songs competed in the competition where the winner was selected by public voting and an internet jury panel consisting of 2,002 members selected via an online quiz. The jury results created an overall ranking from which points from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest) were distributed to the top five entries. Viewers were able to vote via telephone or SMS, each of them which also created an overall ranking and assigned scores from 1 to 5. After the combination of all scores, the entry with the highest number of points was selected as the winner.[10][8]
Competing entries
Six artists were nominated by record companies, while an additional four acts was chosen through an open submission. For the open submission, ORF invited all interested artists to submit their songs to the broadcaster between 28 August and 30 November 2001.[11] The broadcaster received over 700 submissions at the close of the deadline, which were reviewed by a team of music professionals.[12] The ten artists selected to compete in the national final were revealed on 28 January 2002 at an ORF press conference that was hosted by Andi Knoll.[13]
