Malta: Record amount of submitted songs

The Maltese national broadcaster PBS has announced that it has received a record breaking 210 entries for their preselection for Eurovision 2014. The 210 submitted songs will be brought back to 20 songs that will compete in the national semifinal. The best 14 songs from that show will advance to the final, where the Maltese entry for Copenhagen will be selected.

The dates for the Maltese Eurovision national selection has not been announced yet. The names of the 20 acts will be known later this month.

The record amount of submitted songs for Malta has a clear inducement. Gianluca Bezzina (featured image) achieved an honorable 8th place in the final of the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö with his song Tomorrow.
