DORA 1998
The DORA is almost as good as a Eurovision final itself, with usually about 20 entries competing for the honour of representing Croatia in whichever country the ESC's to be held. (Given that they've only been competing since things went all Celtic in '93, there may well be quite a few Croatians who think Eurovision's permanent home is in Ireland. Unless RTÉ send a few more hopeless cases like 1998's, they may end up being right.)
