How will Una Voce per San Marino 2023 work?

The Academy and Casting stage will be held between October 28, 2022 and January 27, 2023. In the Casting stage, the jury will select 60 or more artists to advance to the next round of San Marinese selection.

After that, a total of five semi-finals will be held in February 2023. From the five semi-finals, approximately 20 artists will be selected by the jury to proceed to the Grand Final. There will be four semi-final performances, one of which will be for artists from San Marino, the fifth in the semi-final stage will be the second chance round.

The Grand Final will be held on February 25, 2023 at Teatro Nuovo in Dogana. The winner will be chosen by a five-member jury, two judges chosen by RTV San Marino, one by the Segreteria di Stato and two by the production company.

Unlike last year, there will be no Established Artist section and no artist will be directly invited to the final. Instead, established artists or any other notable artists can be invited directly to the semi-finals and skip the Casting round.

Applications to participate in the selection are open until 20 January 2023. There are fees associated with participation:

Applications until September 29th will cost 100 euros
Applications from October 1 to January 20th will cost 150 euros
Applications from San Marino artists will cost 50 euros before December 3rd.

The country was represented last year by Italian-born Achille Lauro with “Stripper” who took 14th place in the second semi-final with only 50 points.

After two years of qualification, San Marino is ready to make a huge national final to increase their qualification rate even more. Their national final comes with the name “Una Voche per San Marino” and it is about to start on December for a couple of months. The last time the country chose to make a national final was in 2018.

Here is the full program of “Una Voche per San Marino”:

The festival will have both “Emerging” artists and “Established” artists.
Registration will open this Wednesday and its open until 10 January 2022.
The academy and casting will be at the Titano Theater in San Marino. Two-day sessions will be held between 13 December-19 December and 5 January- 11 January.

The nine Bigs selected, just as the competitors of the Emerging Category identified by the Final, will be able to freely choose the piece to be interpreted at the Grand Final.
