===Format change===
The BBC confirmed that the format for this edition of ESF: You decide would change. Instead of the usual five heats, two quarter finals, a semi-final, a final and a superfinal, a final with ten participating acts would be held together with a super final of five acts. The BBC confirmed that ESF: You decide will get its normal selection format back from next edition, meaning that fifty acts will participate againi in next edition. This edition's format change was due to time management issues.
