Alongside the competition performances, there will also be performances from La Rappresentante di Lista, Al Bano (Italy 1976 and 1985) and Senhit (San Marino 2011, 2020 and 2021).
The winner will be determined by a jury formed of:
- Luca De Gennaro (DJ) (president of the jury)
- Roberto Sergio (Director of SMRTV)
- Federica Gentile (TV and radio host)
- Ema Stokholma (TV and radio host)
- Mario Andrea Ettore (Marketing manager at SIAE, the Italian Society of Authors and Editors
The jurors will vote across three rounds to determine the winner of the contest. The first assessment took place on March 4, where the jurors assigned points based on two criteria:
- Overall artistic criteria (artistic validity, production quality, emotional impact) – 1 to 10 points allocated per song
- Affinity with Eurovision (radio and international potential, coherence with the musical language of the event, possible participation in the Eurovision competition) – 1 to 10 points allocated per song
During the final, the jury will vote again, awarding up to 10 points per song. They are assessed based on:
- Quality of vocal performance
- Stage presence and interpretation
- Television effectiveness and charisma
- Eurovision Potential
The five jurors can award up to 30 points to each song across the previous two rounds, meaning a maximum score of 150 points is available from the jury.
The Artistic Director also has the possibility to assign bonus points to one artist based on their evaluation of the entries. The Artistic Director can award 10 points to one act only.
The winner will be the act that receives the highest number of points across rounds one, two and three, with a maximum score of 210 points.
Alongside the main prize of representing San Marino in Basel, there will also be a Critics’ Prize, which will be voted on by the press, and a prize for Sammarinese artists.
