Yevrobachennia: Natsionalnyi Vidbir (meaning "Eurovision: National Selection"), informally known as Vidbir, is a Ukrainian music competition which began in 2016. The winner of the contest gets the chance to represent Ukraine at the Eurovision Song Contest.

Each contest lasts for one show. Once all of the entrants have performed, they are ranked by both a jury and a public vote which give a set of points based on the rankings (for example, if there are six contestants, then the highest ranked contestant gets 6 points, with the lowest getting 1). The points are then combined and the highest scorer wins.
