Moldova: Today the Etapa Națională 2023 Audition!

The process to select Moldova‘s representative for Eurovision 2023 begins today. The Eastern European country will use a national final for the first time in three years to select the artist to compete in Liverpool, but the process begins today with the Etapa Națională 2023 audition.

Format

Live auditions will begin on January 28th at noon, in the public television studios. The auditions will be broadcast live on the Moldova 2 channel and on its website, as well as on www.eurovision.md.
