Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Eurovision Song Contest 2005

BH Eurosong 2005 was the tenth edition of BH Eurosong, the Bosnian national final which selected Bosnia and Herzegovina's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2005. The competition was held on 6 March 2005 at the BHRT studios in Sarajevo and hosted by 2002 Bosnian Eurovision entrant Maja Tatić, 2004 Bosnian Eurovision entrant Deen, and 1981 Yugoslav Eurovision entrant Seid Memić Vajta.[3] The show was broadcast on BHT 1 and BH Radio 1.[4]

On 10 December 2004, the broadcaster opened the submission period for composers to submit their songs up until 17 January 2005.[5] 87 submissions were received at the closing of the deadline and on 19 January 2005, BHRT announced the fifteen songs selected to compete in the national final.[6] The ten-member selection committee that determined the competing songs from the received submissions consisted of Nataša Bogdanović (music producer at Radio RS), Kristijan Čarapina (director of Melodije Mostara), Ferida Duraković (poet), Milorad Kenjalović (Dean of Academy of Arts at the University of Banja Luka), Samir Pašalić (music editor at FTV), Antonio Šajin (Executive Director of Radio Dobre vibracije), Nurudin Vatrenjak (music producer), and members of the Bosnian Delegation for the Eurovision Song Contest: Dejan Kukrić, Ninoslav Verber and Vesna Andree-Zaimović.[7] The competing artists, determined by BHRT in consultation with the selected songwriters, were announced on 15 February 2005 and included 2003 Bosnian Eurovision entrant Mija Martina.[5] The song "C'mon Boy", written by Aleksandra Kovač, was later withdrawn from the competition due to unsuccessful agreements with performer Selma Bajrami.[8]

The final took place on 6 March 2005. Fourteen entries participated and the 50/50 combination of votes from a jury panel and public televoting selected "Zovi" performed by Feminnem as the winner. Tinka Milinović and Feminnem were tied at 20 points each but since Feminnem received the most votes from the jury they were declared the winners.[9] In addition to the performances of the competing entries, the show featured a guest performance by the show host Seid Memić Vajta.

Following the Bosnian national final, Feminnem prepared Croatian, Danish, English, German, Spanish and Turkish language versions of the song.[10] BHRT announced on 18 March 2005 that they have decided that the song would be performed in English at the Eurovision Song Contest and titled "Call Me".[11]
