Geta Burlacu and Nelly Ciobanu (pictured) already represented Moldova in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2008 and 2009, respectively. Among the artists who had submitted entries for this year's national selection were Sunstroke Project & Olia Tira, who were the Moldovan representatives in the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest, but their song Superman was not selected for the final.
Another entry is supposed to be picked by the public through an internet vote - details are yet to be announced. The Moldovan national final will be held on March 10th, with the winner being chosen by a mixture of televoting and a jury vote.
