What’s next for the Moldovan national final

1. Examination of submissions 
2. The live auditions of the artists
3. The final audition
4. The National Final

The Live Auditions will take place on January 28 ,in the studios of the Moldovan Public Television. The auditions will be broadcasted live on the television channel Moldova 2 and on its website, as well as on www.eurovision.md. 

The score of the audition will be decided solely by the jury. The composition of the judging team will be made public only on the day of the respective stage. The jury will consist of an odd number of members (minimum 3, maximum 5) and will be different from the one in the National Final.  

Likewise, on January 28, Moldova 1 television station will host a special edition about the live auditions with the participation of experts in the field and members of the jury. In this edition, the list of finalists will be announced. In accordance with the rules, the first 10 contestants, who will accumulate the highest score in the live auditions, will compete in the National Final.

But until we learn who is going to represent Moldova in Eurovision 2023, lets remember their song for last year’s contest.  Last year, Moldova was represented by Zdob şi Zdub and the Advahov Brothers for the first time with the song “Trenuleţul” which finished in 7th place in the Grand Final while also managing to secure the 2nd place in the televote:
