Lead

• Mention the writers of the song "Ktheju tokës" for broadness
• Expand the lead to include that it was the 16th time Albania had competed in the Eurovision Song Contest since its first entry in 2004, its preparations for ESC and the nation's results in the contest

Background

• "Prior to the 2020 contest," - 2019
• "Albania's first entry was performed by Anjeza Shahini who performed" - repetition of "performed"
• "Albania's second-highest placing to date." - the nation's

Competing entries

• "The national broadcaster of Albania, Radio Televizioni Shqiptar (RTSH), organised the 57th of Festivali i Këngës to select their entrant for the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 in Tel Aviv, Israel. It consisted of two semi-finals on 20 and 21 December, and the grand final on 22 December 2019." - All of this portion of text in uncited and requires a reliable source to verify that it is correct
• "organised the 57th of Festivali i Këngës to select their entrant" - the word in bold isn't needed
• "for the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 in Tel Aviv, Israel." - 2019
• "It was the sixteenth time, in which, the competition determined Albania's representative for the contest." - same issue as above
• How about including a summary of how the list for Festivali i Këngës was determined to be in line with other xxxx at the Eurovision Song Contest xxxx at GA level?
• The three tables from this section and the final section should include scope="col" to each of their columns to meet MOS:DTT
• "The list of competing artists and songs eventually were revealed on 17 October 2018." - were offically revealed

Semi-finals

• "The contest featured a change with the two semi-finals: all the acts would perform twice in the semi-finals. During the first semi-final, on 20 December 2018, the competing artists traditionally performed with the Symphonic orchestra, while in the second semi-final, on 21 December 2018, they performed the final version of their entries." - this whole paragraph requires reliable sources to verify the information
• Also you could mention who presented the semi-finals, the exact time they started and any interval acts
• "the competing artists traditionally performed with the Symphonic orchestra," - a symphonic orchestra
• The second semi-final table needs to be referenced

Final

• "Fourteen songs competed and the winner was determined by the combination of the votes from a nine-member jury panel. Each member of the jury voted by assigning scores from 10–20, 22, 25 and 30 points to their preferred songs. The jury was composed of Agim Krajka, Arta Marku, Dorian Çene, Haig Zacharian, Olsa Toqi, Pali Kuke, Rona Nishliu, Rovena Dilo and Shpëtim Kushta." - All this portion of text needs to be backed up by reliable sources to verify that it is correct
• Also please mention the hosts for the final and any interval acts
• "The jury was composed of" - composed of whom exactly?
• The table for the final needs to be fully referenced

Promotion

• "premiered on the official YouTube channel of the Eurovision Song Contest on 10 March 2019." - the Eurovision Song Contest's official YouTube channel on 10 March 2019.
• " Jonida Maliqi traveled to the Banias Nature Reserve at the Mount Hermon in Israel to film her introductory postcard." - the word in bold isn't needed
• "she is seen dressed in a 1950s style while walking through her surroundings." - dressed in 1950s sytle clothing while walking through the surroundings.
• "She is then joined by four female dancers on the edge of a waterfall," - subsequently

At Eurovision

• "According to the Eurovision rules, each participating country, except the host country" - repetition of "country"
• "On 28 January 2019, a special allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals," - please state where the draw was held
• The whole of the second paragraph is uncited and will need to be verified by reliable sources
• "the running order for the semi-finals was decided by the contests producers rather than through another draw," - the producers of the contest

Semi-final

• Consider adding information on Albanian's portion of the contest such as who was doing what and what they were dressed like and who directed/choreographed the performance
• "It was later revealed that Albania placed ninth in the semi-final," - revealed after the contest that Albania had finished ninth,

Voting

• "The individual rankings of each jury member as well as the nation's televoting results will be released shortly after the grand final." - were released soon after
• All the tables below this section will need to be fully referenced
• Furthermore the tables should have scope="col" added to every single column to comply with MOS:DTT

Notes

• All three notes need to be completely referenced

I'm afraid that I will have to fail this nomination for lack of variability and broadness of content. I suggest that the nominator review all of the above the points and take the appropriate actions to improve the article before it is re-nominated at GAN.
