◄2021 • 2022 • 2023►

Slovenia plans to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in Turin, Italy. The Slovene entry for the 2022 contest will be selected via a two-stage national final organised Radiotelevizija Slovenija (RTVSLO). The first stage EMA Freš began on 29 November 2021 with the purpose of selecting four newcomer artists to advance to the second stage EMA 2022. The national final will consist of two semi-finals and a grand final, featuring twenty entries overall. Twelve acts will compete in the final, which is due to take place in February 2022, with a combination of jury voting and public voting deciding which of the finalists will represent Slovenia in Turin.

Background

Main article: Slovenia in the Eurovision Song Contest

Prior to the 2022 contest, Slovenia has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest twenty-seven times since its first entry in 1993.[1] Slovenia's highest placing in the contest, to this point, has been seventh place, which the nation achieved on two occasions: in 1995 with the song "Prisluhni mi" performed by Darja Švajger and in 2001 with the song "Energy" performed by Nuša Derenda. The country's only other top ten result was achieved in 1997 when Tanja Ribič performing "Zbudi se" placed tenth. Since the introduction of semi-finals to the format of the contest in 2004, Slovenia had thus far only managed to qualify to the final on six occasions. In 2021, Slovenia was represented by Ana Soklič with the song "Amen", which failed to qualify for the final, finishing in 13th place in the first semi-final with 44 points.

The Slovenian national broadcaster, Radiotelevizija Slovenija (RTV Slovenija), broadcasts the event within Slovenia and organises the selection process for the nation's entry. RTV Slovenija confirmed Slovenia's participation in the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest on 15 September 2021.[2] The Slovenian entry for the Eurovision Song Contest has traditionally been selected through a national final entitled Evrovizijska Melodija (EMA), which has been produced with variable formats. To this point, the broadcaster has only foregone the use of the national final twice; in 2013 and in 2021 when the Slovenian entry was internally selected.

Before Eurovision

EMA Freš 2022

EMA Freš returned as the first phase for Slovenia's selection for the Eurovision Song Contest for the second time after its first appearance in 2020. Newcomer artists who are not more than 30 years old and have released a maximum of three songs were eligible to apply for EMA Freš via a submission period opened by RTVSLO on 8 October 2021. A total of 24 artists were selected to take part in the selection, which commenced on 29 November 2021.[3] After a series of nights, each showcasing a duel, 14 entries advanced to take part in two televised shows in January. In each show, seven songs will compete for two places in EMA 2022, one selected by public voting and one selected by a jury. In total, four EMA Freš participants will move on to EMA 2022.[4][needs update]

Format

Twenty-four songs competed in a series of duels starting in November 2021 for four weeks. After the duels, the fourteen winning songs will compete in one televised shows, to be aired on 28 January 2022. The selection show will see four of the seven competing songs will win a place in EMA 2022.[5]

After the four duels held each week (on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday), a weekly final was held on each Saturday where three out of the four weekly winners advanced: one selected via a public online vote and the other two by a committee composed of Joker Out singer Bojan Cvjetićanin, singer Eva Boto and rapper Arne. Non-qualifiers were given a second chance on the following week (20 to 24 December), when one more act was chosen among three every day, for a total of fourteen finalists.

The 14 remaining entries were then originally meant to compete in two final selection shows, in which two entries would qualify from each show.[6] However, on 12 January 2022, it was revealed by RTVSLO that all 14 entries would compete in one show on 28 January 2022, with two songs to be chosen by the public and two by the jury to go through to EMA 2022.[7]

On 28 December 2021, Radiotelevizija Slovenija revealed that over 48,000 votes were cast during the online voting rounds of EMA FREŠ between 29 November and 24 December. The full results will be revealed after EMA 2022.[8]

Competing entries

Artists and composers were able to submit their entries to the broadcaster between 8 October 2021 and 22 November 2021.[9] All artists were required to be under the age of 30 and have three or less commercially released songs. Two days after the closing of the submission window, RTVSLO announced a total of 127 applications had been received for both competitions.[10] The competing artists for EMA Freš were announced on 26 November 2021, along with which songs would compete in each duel.[11]

EMA 2022

EMA 2022 will consist of two semi-finals, to be held in February 2022, and a final. In each semi-final, eight established artists and two EMA Freš artists will compete to advance to the final. Public voting will select three finalists and a jury will select another three. In the final, five five-member juries (50%) and public voting (50%) will decide which of the 12 finalists will represent Slovenia in Turin.

Competing entries

RTVSLO opened a submission period between 8 October 2021 and 22 November 2021 for artists and composers to submit their entries. All applicants were required to be at least sixteen years old on 1 February 2022, and the main performer (or at least half of the main performers in multi-performance ensembles) of the submitted composition must have permanent or temporary residence in the Republic of Slovenia.[35] Two days after the closing of the submission window, RTVSLO announced a total of 127 applications had been received for both competitions.[10] The first sixteen competing acts were revealed on 19 December 2021, with the final four acts to be selected via EMA Freš in January 2022.[36] Among the competing acts are BQL, who participated in both EMA 2017 and EMA 2018 and finished as runners-up respectively. Among the competing songwriters are Maraaya, who won EMA 2015 and represented Slovenia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015. Raay also wrote the Slovenian Eurovision entry "Round and Round" for Tinkara Kovač in 2014 and wrote the Slovenian Junior Eurovision entries in both 2014 and 2015.
