San Marino is set to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö, Sweden. The Sammarinese broadcaster San Marino RTV (SMRTV) is organising the national final format Una voce per San Marino in collaboration with Media Evolution S.r.l. to select their representative.

Background

Main article: San Marino in the Eurovision Song Contest

Prior to the 2024 contest, San Marino has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest thirteen times since its first entry in 2008.[1] The nation's debut entry, "Complice" performed by Miodio, failed to qualify for the final and placed last in the semi-final.[1] San Marino subsequently did not take part in both the 2009 and 2010 contests, returning in 2011 with Italian singer Senit performing "Stand By", which also failed to take the nation to the final.[1] Between 2012 and 2014, San Marino sent Valentina Monetta to the contest on three consecutive occasions. The singer only managed to qualify for the final in 2014 with "Maybe", ultimately placing 24th.[1] Following four consecutive non-qualifying years, San Marino qualified in 2019 with Serhat performing "Say Na Na Na" and finishing in 19th place.[1] For the 2020 contest Senit, now known as Senhit, and her song "Freaky!" were to represent the nation; following the cancellation of the event, San Marino re-selected Senhit for 2021.[2] Her 2021 song, "Adrenalina", performed alongside American rapper Flo Rida, qualified for the final, eventually placing 22nd.[1] The Sammarinese 2022 and 2023 entrants, Achille Lauro with "Stripper" and Piqued Jacks with"Like an Animal", both failed to qualify for the final.[1]

The Sammarinese national broadcaster, San Marino RTV (SMRTV), broadcasts the event within the country and organises the selection process for its entry. The country has internally selected its representatives for most of its history in the contest, with three exceptions: in 2018, the national final format 1in360 was used; in 2020, the entrant was selected internally but the song through an online poll;[3] since 2022, a competition titled Una voce per San Marino ("A voice for San Marino") has been held to select the country's entry.[4] In August 2023, it was confirmed that the selection event would continue to be used for the 2024 contest.[5]

Before Eurovision

Una voce per San Marino

Una voce per San Marino 2024 is the third edition of the national selection format developed by SMRTV and Media Evolution S.r.l. to determine the Sammarinese entry to the Eurovision Song Contest. The final will take place on 24 February 2024 (originally scheduled for 2 March) at the Teatro Nuovo in Dogana and will see eight established artists and eight newcomers (one being from San Marino) compete. A jury vote will determine the qualifiers from each phase of the competition and ultimately the winner.[6][7]

The selection is taking place in three stages: an audition stage between 10 November 2023 and 20 January 2024, five semi-finals on 15 and 16 February 2024 followed by a second chance round plus one semi-final reserved to Sammarinese nationals, and a final on 24 Feburary 2024. Applications are open between 10 October 2023 and 14 January 2024 for emerging artists to take part in the audition phase, where about 80 entries will qualify to the semi-finals, while established artists will be directly invited to the final by Media Evolution S.r.l. There are no restrictions on the nationality of the performer nor the language of the song.[6][8]

As of 19 November 2023, about 300 submissions had been received from 22 countries.[9][10]

Starting on 20 November 2023 and until the final of 2 March 2024, SMRTV is airing a 15-minute daily broadcast presenting the participating artists, hosted by rapper Irol [it].[10][11][12]

In addition to the regular selection process, SMRTV later launched a collaboration with London-based music tech startup Casperaki to determine a finalist through the help of artificial intelligence. From 27 November 2023 until 15 January 2024, interested artists may submit anything from short recordings to complete compositions, with the platform helping to enhance them. A committee will select the ten best suggestions to take part in a songwriting camp in London between January and February 2024, after which the jury of Una Voce per San Marino will review the songs created there and select one to qualify for the final.[13][14]

Auditions

The casting stage of Una voce per San Marino is taking place at San Marino Outlet Experience in four rounds: the first from 10 to 12 November 2023, the second from 1 to 3 December 2023, the third from 12 to 14 January 2024 and the fourth from 18 to 20 January 2024.[15]

At Eurovision

According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top 10 countries from each semi-final progress to the final. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) split up the competing countries into six different pots based on voting patterns from previous contests, with countries with favourable voting histories put into the same pot. On 30 January 2024, an allocation draw will be held, which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals, and determined which half of the show they would perform in; the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) splits up the competing countries into different pots based on voting patterns from previous contests, with countries with favourable voting histories put into the same pot.[16]
