Romania: Selecţia Naţională scheduled for March

Romanian broadcaster TVR finally announced some details about the national selection, setting the final date for the 8th of March. But the entire process begins just next week, on 26 January when artists can submit their songs through the 8th of February.

A number of 12 will be chosen from all the applicants to participate in this year’s Selecţia Naţională. And those contestants will be announced by TVR once the submission deadline has closed, no later than 12 February.

As for showtimes, Romania has decided to hold one large final in which all 12 perform for the first time and a winner will be chosen that night. That also means, however, that TV voters will only have one vote each (from a single phone number) to cast – so choose your favorite wisely!

In the end the votes from TV audience and a jury will be combined and announced at the end of the show, to see who will represent Romania at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna.
