Eurovision Song Contest 2026 in Vienna now with San Marino after all

"Today we informed the EBU of our participation, despite the recent discussions conducted in a constructive spirit addressing the issues of the voting system and the disadvantageous treatment of small states. At the same time, we expressed the desire for the EBU to consider possible revisions and improvements to ensure more fairness and representativeness for all countries, regardless of their size or voting share," said Roberto Sergio, General Director of San Marino RTV.

After a three-year contract was signed between the State Secretariat for Tourism, San Marino RTV, and Media Evolution, the San Marino Song Contest is starting again. The format is being changed and now includes two live semifinals in Eurovision style as well as a live final, from which the artist who will represent San Marino in Austria will emerge. The CEO of Media Evolution, Denny Montesi, has been appointed as the new "Head of Delegation" for the Eurovision Song Contest. He will be supported by the Sammarinese singer Valentina Monetta, who has already performed on the Eurovision Song Contest stage four times.
