Lithuania began their search for their next Eurovision representative following the kick off of their national selection, Eurovizija 2018. Thirteen artists competed, but who managed to advance in the competition?

Tonight saw the first broadcast of Lithuania’s national selection for the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest, Eurovizija, in which a total of 13 artists competed and presented their entries to the public for the very first time.

Whilst the show was pre-recorded earlier this week on Wednesday, where the jury votes were already determined, tonight saw the combination of the jury votes as well as this evening’s public vote.
