The Euro Jury is back for 2023 with Australia's own Erica Padilla returning as a juror this year. Erica is the second Australian artist revealed so far, joining Alfie Arcuri in the Australian jury.


Erica competed at 'Eurovision - Australia Decides' 2022 as a TikTok wildcard after impressing everyone with her amazing cover of 'River' by Bishop Briggs. Erica's TikTok video for 'River' now has a whopping 35 million views!


The young talent sung her self-penned track 'To The Bottom', written together with her sister Isabela Padilla and friend Ally Eley, on the Gold Coast for the Australian Eurovision national final finishing in 9th place.


Erica is now making her live show debut on April 21 in Melbourne for 'Erica Padilla - Live in Concert' at The Kindred Bandroom, Yarraville. Get tickets to her show here. You can buy exclusive Erica Padilla merch at the event!


The Euro Jury, organised and run by the Eurovoix team, is where artists, musicians, and songwriters are invited to vote on this years Eurovision songs as part of the jury. This makes up for 50% of the vote. The remaining 50% is decided by the public.


Voting has opened to the public! Voting will remain open for a period of two weeks and will close on April 24 at 18:00 CEST. Vote now HERE.
