Romania in the Eurovision Song Contest
◄2022 2023 2025►

Romania is set to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 in Liverpool, United Kingdom. The Romanian broadcaster, Televiziunea Română (TVR), will organise the national final Selecția Națională 2023 to be held on 11 February 2023 in order to select the Romanian entry for the 2023 contest.[1]

Background

Prior to the 2023 contest, Romania had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 22 times since its first entry in 1994. To this point, its highest placing in the contest has been third place, which the nation achieved on two occasions: in 2005 with the song "Let Me Try" performed by Luminița Anghel and Sistem, and in 2010 with the song "Playing with Fire" performed by Paula Seling and Ovi. To this point, Romania has qualified to the final 14 out of 17 times since the introduction of semi-finals to the format of the contest in 2004. In 2022, "Llámame" by WRS qualfied to the final and placed 18th.[2]

The Romanian national broadcaster, Televiziunea Română (TVR), broadcasts the event within Romania and organizes the selection process for the nation's entry. TVR has consistently selected the Romanian Eurovision entry through national finals that feature a competition among several artists and songs, except in 2021 when the Romanian entry was internally selected. Despite threatening a possible withdrawal in response to the nation's suspended jury votes in the 2022 contest,[3] the broadcaster confirmed their intentions to participate at the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest on 26 August 2022 after dropping all objections towards the EBU.[4][5] TVR had set up national finals with several artists to choose both the song and performer to compete at Eurovision for Romania, a procedure which the broadcaster opted for once again to select their 2023 entry.[6][7]

Before Eurovision

Selecția Națională 2023

Selecția Națională 2023 will be the national final format developed by TVR in order to select Romania's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2023. The competition will take place at the TVR studios on 11 February 2023.[1][8]

Competing entries

TVR opened a submission period for artists and composers to submit their entries between 14 November 2022 and 11 December 2022. Composers were able to submit songs without a performer and should this be the case, the performers would be chosen by TVR in consultation with their composers.[9] The broadcaster received 85 submissions after the submission deadline passed.[10] An expert committee consisting of Sebastien Ferenţ (Untold and Neversea), Laura Coroianu (Emagic), Bogdan Stratula (Urban Sunsets Radio), John Varbiu (Summer Well), Alin Vaida (Jazz in the Park), Mihai Predescu (Head of the Romanian delegation at the Eurovision Song Contest) and Remus Achim (project director of the national final) reviewed the received submissions between 14 to 16 December 2022.[11][12] Each juror on the committee rated each song between 1 (lowest) and 10 (highest) based on criteria such as the melodic harmony, structure and lyrics of the song, the orchestral arrangement, originality and stylistic diversity of the composition, sound and voice quality as well as the overall interpretative, visual and artistic quality.[8] After the combination of the jury votes, the top twelve entries that scored the highest were selected for the national final.[13] The competing entries were announced on 17 December 2022.[14][15] Among the artist Andrada Popa previously represent Romania in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2008 along side Mădălina.
