From November 10 to December 20, 39 applications for participation were submitted, including two requests from foreign composers. The materials are being reviewed to make sure they meet all the requirements.
The Moldavian national selection will have two stages. In the first stage, a jury shall listen to the material submitted. The jury will include performers, composers,lyricists and producers. A maximum of twenty performers will be determined for the subsequent phase (the number will be subject to the voting jury). This phase will take placeuntil 31 December 2008.
