EUROVISION 2021
– Any of the 26 “Campioni” and 8 “Nuove Proposte (and their respective record labels) who are interested in going to Eurovision 2021 should fill out a special form about the competition.
The winner is automatically considered to represent Italy at Eurovision Song Contest 2021 in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
However, the winner still has the first refusal in this matter, and in case they do not accept their right to represent Italy in Rotterdam, then the organizing committee of Sanremo 2021 will choose another participant in the competition, according to its own criteria, by the artists who will have signed the declaration of interest for Eurovision.
Sanremo 2021 starts from 2nd of March till final night 6th of March. Will you be watching? Let us know in the comments below!
