Selection procedures

Regardless of the method used to select the entry, the song's details must be finalised and submitted before a deadline some days before the international contest.

After all countries have voted, when all the points have been calculated, the admin of the show call upon each voting country in turn to invite them to announce the results of their vote. Currently, the votes from 1 to 7 are displayed automatically on screen and the remaining points are read out in ascending order by the spokesperson, culminating with the maximum 12 points.
