San Marino is set to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö, Sweden, with "11:11" performed by Megara. The Sammarinese broadcaster San Marino RTV (SMRTV) organised the national final format Una voce per San Marino in collaboration with Media Evolution S.r.l. to select their representative.
Background
Prior to the 2024 contest, San Marino has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest thirteen times since its first entry in 2008.[1] The nation's debut entry, "Complice" performed by Miodio, failed to qualify for the final and placed last in the semi-final.[1] San Marino subsequently did not take part in both the 2009 and 2010 contests, returning in 2011 with Italian singer Senit performing "Stand By", which also failed to take the nation to the final.[1] Between 2012 and 2014, San Marino sent Valentina Monetta to the contest on three consecutive occasions. The singer only managed to qualify for the final in 2014 with "Maybe", ultimately placing 24th.[1] Following four consecutive non-qualifying years, San Marino qualified in 2019 with Serhat performing "Say Na Na Na" and finishing in 19th place.[1] For the 2020 contest Senit, now known as Senhit, and her song "Freaky!" were to represent the nation; following the cancellation of the event, San Marino re-selected Senhit for 2021.[2] Her 2021 song, "Adrenalina", performed alongside American rapper Flo Rida, qualified for the final, eventually placing 22nd.[1] The Sammarinese 2022 and 2023 entrants, Achille Lauro with "Stripper" and Piqued Jacks with "Like an Animal", both failed to qualify for the final.[1]
The Sammarinese national broadcaster, San Marino RTV (SMRTV), broadcasts the event within the country and organises the selection process for its entry. The country has internally selected its representatives for most of its history in the contest, with three exceptions: in 2018, the national final format 1in360 was used; in 2020, the entrant was selected internally but the song through an online poll;[3] since 2022, a competition titled Una voce per San Marino ("A voice for San Marino") has been held to select the country's entry.[4] In August 2023, it was confirmed that the selection event would continue to be used for the 2024 contest.[5]
Before Eurovision
Una voce per San Marino

Una voce per San Marino 2024 was the third edition of the national selection format developed by SMRTV and Media Evolution S.r.l. to determine the Sammarinese entry to the Eurovision Song Contest. It consisted of four semi-finals for foreign nationals – followed by a second chance round – and one semi-final reserved to Sammarinese nationals, all taking place at the Sala Polivalente Little Tony in Serravalle on 15 and 16 February 2024[6][7][8] and hosted by Ilenia De Sena and Camilla Spinelli;[9] these were aired daily between 19 and 23 February[10] and were followed by a final at the Teatro Nuovo in Dogana on 24 February 2024, hosted by Fabrizio Biggio and Melissa Greta Marchetto, which saw eight established artists and eight newcomers (one being from San Marino) compete. A jury vote determined the qualifiers from the semi-finals and the winner of the final.[6][11][12]
The selection of semi-finalists, also conducted by a jury, consisted of an audition phase for emerging artists between 10 November 2023 and 23 January 2024, where 129 entries qualified to the semi-finals; applications were open between 10 October 2023 and 14 January 2024, by which date over 700 submissions had been received from at least 31 countries. There were no restrictions on the nationality of the performer nor the language of the song. Established artists were instead directly invited to the final by Media Evolution S.r.l.[6][9][11][13] The live auditions took place at San Marino Outlet Experience in four rounds: the first from 10 to 12 November 2023, the second from 1 to 3 December 2023, the third from 12 to 14 January 2024 and the fourth from 18 to 20 January 2024;[14] an additional online round was held on 22 and 23 January 2024.[15] The professional jury who selected the semi-finalists was composed of music producers Domenico "Mimmo" Paganelli, Domenico "Mimmo" Gallotti and Nabuk.[16] In addition to the regular selection process, SMRTV also launched a collaboration with London-based music tech startup Casperaki, named The San Marino Sessions, to determine an additional finalist.
Starting on 19 November 2023 and until the final of 24 February 2024, SMRTV aired a 15-minute daily broadcast presenting the participating artists, hosted by rapper Irol.[17][18][19] Outside San Marino, the final was broadcast on GlitterBeam Radio in the United Kingdom.[20]
Semi-finals
On 30 January 2024, SMRTV announced the names of the 129 acts that had been selected to progress to the semi-final stage, most being from Italy, as well as the semi-final they would take part in.[21] The shows were filmed on 15 and 16 February 2024 and aired between 19 and 23 February 2024.

The San Marino Sessions
The San Marino Sessions was an experimental selection launched by SMRTV in collaboration with Casperaki to determine one of the finalists of Una voce per San Marino 2024. From 27 November 2023 until January 2024, interested artists could submit anything from short recordings to complete compositions, with the dedicated platform, powered by artificial intelligence, helping to enhance them. By 9 January 2024, a committee selected the ten best suggestions to take part in a songwriting camp hosted by producers TommyD and Stefan Moessle in London between 18 and 21 January 2024, where they came down to four full compositions; the jury of Una voce per San Marino, helped by feedback from the public, then selected one of these to qualify for the final, announced along the other pre-qualifiers on 19 February 2024.[29][30][31][32]
| Artist | Song | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Dana Gillespie | "The Last Polar Bear" | Qualified |
| Marie Wegener | "Dare to Dream" | Eliminated |
| Meg Birch | "Neon Rain" | Eliminated |
| Nicole Silva | "Corazón de mariposa" | Eliminated |
Final
The final of Una voce per San Marino took place on 24 February 2024, with the eight competing established artists plus the San Marino Sessions qualifier announced on 19 February 2024 at a press conference in Milan.[32][35] The winner of the final was Megara with the song "11:11".[36] The professional jury consisted of Celso Valli (chair), Anna Bianchi, Clarissa Martinelli, John Vignola and Steve Lyon.[37] Mogol and Al Bano, who chaired the jury in the two previous editions, made an appearance as guests.[38] Piqued Jacks (2023 winners) opened the show performing their winning entry "Like an Animal"; Piccolo Coro dell'Antoniano, Riccardo Cocciante and Filippo Graziani performed as interval acts.[39]
The final also saw several acts receive special awards for their participation. These included the San Marino Outlet Experience prize for the best look to Jalisse, the OGAE Italy prize and the Critics' prize to Loredana Bertè, the Febal Casa prize (awarded by Radio San Marino) for the most radio-friendly song to La Rua, and the Ludovico Di Meo prize (awarded by San Marino RTV) for the best emerging act to Megara.[36]

At Eurovision
The Eurovision Song Contest 2024 will take place at the Malmö Arena in Malmö, Sweden, and consist of two semi-finals held on the respective dates of 7 and 9 May and the final on 11 May 2024. All nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete in the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final will progress to the final. On 30 January 2024, an allocation draw was held to determine which of the two semi-finals, as well as which half of the show, each country will perform in; the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) split up the competing countries into different pots based on voting patterns from previous contests, with countries with favourable voting histories put into the same pot.[49] San Marino was scheduled for the second half of the second semi-final.[50] The shows' producers then decided the running order for the semi-finals; San Marino was set to perform in position 10, following the entry from Latvia and before the entry from Georgia.[51]
In San Marino, the contest will be broadcast on San Marino RTV, as well as on the broadcaster's streaming platform SMRTV Play.[52]As part of the Eurovision programming, from 23 April 2024 SMRTV is broadcasting Ticket to Eurovision, discussing the participating countries.[53]
