In the final, however, the competing artists will not perform their songs live. Instead, they will be invited to record a live-on-tape version of their entry in December 2023, where they will have three takes and a 60-minute window to get the best possible performance.
Additionally, each of the 12 finalists will receive a grant of €5,000 to make a music video, which will also air on the night of the grand final.
Once each act’s live-on-tape performance and music video have aired, a jury vote and public vote will be combined to determine the winner and the song that will represent Malta at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö.
