San Marino: On February 23 the final of Una Voce per San Marino!

Despite their non qualification this year, the public broadcaster of San Marino confirmed very early on that Una Voce per San Marino, the national final through which their participation in Eurovision 2022 was selected, will be repeated for the next contest. Today more information was given about the new edition of Una Voce per San Marino, while the dates of the show were also announced.

The dates and regulations

The process will remain almost the same as what happened at Una Voce per San Marino 2022. In other words, there will again be two categories, that of new artists, but also of established ones. The Academy and Casting process for the selection of the new artists who will compete in the final will take place from October 28, 2022 until January 27, 2023.

60 artists will be selected after the completion of the castings, to move on to the second phase of the process. Five semi-finals will follow (one only for artists of San Marino origin and one second-chance semi-final), from which those who will compete on February 23rd in the final of Una Voce per San Marino, which will take place at the Teatro Nuovo Dogana . The semi-finals will be televised, but the final will be televised live.

Unlike the previous year, established artists will not have the privilege of being directly in the final. Those of them who accept the invitation of the production company to participate in Una Voce per San Marino 2023 will simply avoid the first stage of the Academy and Casting. In other words, they will have to compete normally in the semi-finals and claim, with the new artists, their qualification to the final. Nevertheless, the production company reserves the right, if it deems that an artist is of particular importance, to give him the possibility to compete directly in the grand final, as an exception.

The winner will be selected by a five-member jury. Two judges will be from the country’s public television, two judges from the production company and one judge – a representative of the state government.
