The national final, which begins on January 16th, will consist of four shows – two qualifying shows, one semi final and the grand final, with the winner being decided by a mix of votes from the public and a 5-person jury.
Every year, the selections receive a lot of public attention. However, knowing how difficult this period was for the music industry, we anxiously awaited application from participants. We are very pleased that performers did not run away and, considering the whole situation, were quite active in submitting applications... We will be able to delight the audience with really high-quality and different performances during the selection.
Audrius Giržadas, chief producer for LRT and Head of Delegation for Lithuania
