Artist selection
On 12 December 2006, the broadcaster held a press conference and announced that they had internally selected Sopho Khalvashi to represent Georgia in Helsinki. The selection of Khalvashi as the Georgian entrant was based on a public poll featuring 20 artists, of which she received 63% of the votes. During the press conference, GPB announced that a national final would be held to select her song.
National final
GPB opened a public song submission from 12 December 2006 until 25 December 2006. The broadcaster sought songs in the pop-folk genre that were in both English and Georgian. An expert commission selected the top five songs from the received submissions, which were announced and presented to the public on 26 January 2007. The five songs were performed by Sopho Khalvashi via a special programme on 3 March 2007 at the Philharmonic Hall in Tbilisi, hosted by Neli Agirba and Duta Skhirtladze and broadcast on the GPB First Channel as well as online at the broadcaster’s website 1tv.ge. The winning song, „My Story“, was determined exclusively by a public televote.
