A Most Serene Festival: 'Una Voce Per San Marino' 🇸🇲

Looking to build on their back-to-back qualification successes (thanks to Senhit, Flo Rida, and Serhat), the Most Serene Republic will adopt a new national final format with the potential to springboard an artist to international stardom.

Una Voca Per San Marino will encourage entrants to compete in one of two categories: ‘emerging’ or ‘established’ acts.

Established artists will be invited by festival organisers, while the preliminaries for emerging talent will take place 13 – 19 December 2021 and from 5 – 11 January 2022 at the Titano Theatre (built in the 18th century with a capacity of 315, in case you were interested in potential venues should San Marino win Eurovision).

Watch: Senhit – Adrenalina (Rotterdam 2021)

Further selections will take place in February 2022, with no restrictions on citizenship or choice of language during the contest.

All stages will be filmed for a show called Aspettando il Festival – Una Voce per San Marino. More details will follow shortly.

The Grand Final (scheduled for Saturday 19 February) will see 18 artists (9 established, 9 emerging) compete for the crown in front of a jury of experts. Second and third place will also be awarded.

The new festival is a collaborative effort between Media Evolution Srl, the Ministry of Tourism and broadcaster SMRTV (San Marino RTV).
