44 Lithuanian artists will fight for the honour of representing the sunny Baltic country at this year's Eurovision Song Contest. Three semi finals will be aired by the National Lithuanian Television (LRT) on February 5th, 12th and 19th and will determine the first nine qualified entries for the national final to be held in late February. Other six finalists will be granted wildcards by LRT and website zebra.lt

Although a total number of 70 songs were received by the Lithuanian national broadcaster (LRT), a special jury selected 44 of them to advance to the next phase of the selection.
