Here are more details for you all.

Selection Process
The Selection Process will take place from now until the closing date on Monday 1st June 2015 so you know have just under 2 weeks to send in your nation's finest musical number. After the closing date, depending on numbers, a draw will be allocated to determine where your delegation will perform in the running order in the Grand Final and potentially in a semi-final. Returning delegations and players will have priority but all are welcome to join the contest. You can always change nation from your last participation in Glasgow, but we encourage loyalty to your chosen nation. In the event of semi-finals being needed, the top 10 players from the last contest will receive automatic qualification to the Grand Final.

Hmmm. I've got two classic Kiwi songs and three recent ones (one is Lorde) that I'm considering. Not sure what to pick.
