Georgia was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 with the song "Shine", written by Hanne Sørvaag, Harry Sommerdahl, and Christian Leuzzi, and performed by Sofia Nizharadze. The Georgian participating broadcaster, the Georgian Public Broadcaster (GPB), selected its entry through a national final, after having previously selected the performer internally. In July 2009, GPB announced that it would be returning to the contest after a one-year absence following its withdrawal in 2009. The election of Nizharadze was announced on 16 January 2010. An open call for song submissions was held which resulted in the shortlisting of six entries that were presented to the public during a televised production on 27 February 2010. The results of a public televote combined with the votes of an expert jury resulted in the selection of "Shine" as the Georgian entry.
