San Marino will be represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 in Basel, Switzerland. The Sammarinese participant broadcaster, San Marino RTV (SMRTV), will organise the national final format San Marino Song Contest to select their representative.
Background
Prior to the 2025 contest, San Marino RTV (SMRTV) had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest representing San Marino fourteen times since its first entry in 2008.[1] Its debut entry, "Complice" performed by Miodio, failed to qualify for the final and placed last in the semi-final.[1] SMRTV subsequently did not take part in both the 2009 and 2010 contests, returning in 2011 with "Stand By" by Italian singer Senit, which also failed to take the nation to the final.[1] Between 2012 and 2014, they 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 "Say Na Na Na" by Serhat 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, SMRTV re-appointed 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, 2023, and 2024 entries, "Stripper" by Achille Lauro, "Like an Animal" by Piqued Jacks, and "11:11" by Megara, all failed to qualify for the final.[1]
As part of its duties as participating broadcaster, SMRTV organises the selection of its entry in the Eurovision Song Contest and broadcasts the event in the country. The broadcaster has internally selected its entries for most of its history in the contest, with four 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 entry.[4] In July 2024, SMRTV initially confirmed that the selection event would continue to be used for the 2025 contest.[5] However, in December 2024 the national final was rebranded to "San Marino Song Contest 2025".[6]
Before Eurovision
San Marino Song Contest
San Marino Song Contest 2025 is set to be the fourth edition of the national selection format developed by SMRTV to determine the Sammarinese entry to the Eurovision Song Contest and the first edition with this new title. The final will take place on 8 March 2025.
Changes are planned to be applied to the previous format, including a rebranding, new logo, and changes in the format and rules in order to create a wider international appeal.[6]
Participant selection
The selection of semi-finalists first consisted of an audition phase, where 221 entries qualified for the semi-finals from among over 1200 applicants.[7] The list of participants in each of the seven semi-finals was revealed over the course of three days, from 29 January to 31 January 2025. Among the acts are Besa, who represented Albania in 2024 and Serafín Zubiri, who represented Spain in 1992 and 2000.
