Three songs will qualify via televoting from each semi final for the national final. The producers retain the right to award a wildcard, if necessary.  During the final which will be held on 2 February, the jury and the televoters will jointly decide which two songs will proceed to a Super Final. The winner will then be decided by 100% televoting.

All songs will be presented on 14 January on Channel 2 and will also be made available to listen to online.
