Slovenia: 4 songs will compete at EMA 2024!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Slovenia’s public broadcaster, RTV, announced that EMA, which was previously used to choose the country’s representative for the Eurovision Song Contest, will once more be used, after a year’s absence.

However, there will be certain differences from other years in the competition’s structure. In particular, at most four songs can compete in the EMA, which will take place in January 2024.

The participants must reside in Slovenia, whether they do so continuously or just occasionally. This requirement does not apply to the performers who will provide vocal accompaniment for the main performance.

Interested artists may submit their applications until 15 November 2023.

The four songs will be chosen through voting by global expert committees based on the following criteria: quality, voice and stage presence, popularity, modernity/innovation, and global recognition.

Last year, Slovenia was represented by Joker Out with the song “Carpe Diem”, giving the country its first qualification to the final since 2019!

Slovenia confirms Eurovision 2024 participation!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Slovenia has confirmed their participation at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.

This news do not come as a big surprise after the great success in terms of viewership Eurovision 2023 had in Slovenia.  For instance, the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest this year was watched in Slovenia by more than 895,300 viewers.  Moreover, the Grand Final of this year’s Eurovision has become the most watched television show in the country in the last seven years representing an average of 55% of TV viewers at the time.  The performance of the Slovenian representatives, Joker Out, achieved the highest viewership, when TV SLO 1 got an average 23.2% or 443,500 viewers.

EMA or internal selection

However, it is not clear at this point what will be the selection process for Slovenia’s next representative in Malmö.  As many fans will remember, Joker Out were internally selected.  They gave Slovenia their first pass to the Grand Final since 2019.  Nevertheless it is still too early to rule out another EMA selection because, among other things, the program and business plan for 2024 has not yet been adopted.
