Malta participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö, Sweden, with "Loop" performed by Sarah Bonnici. The Maltese entry for the 2024 contest was selected through the national final Malta Eurovision Song Contest 2024, organised by the Maltese broadcaster Public Broadcasting Services (PBS).
Background
[edit]Prior to the 2024 contest, Malta had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest thirty-five times since its first entry in 1971. Malta briefly competed in the Eurovision Song Contest in the 1970s before withdrawing for sixteen years. The country had competed in every contest since their 1991 return. Malta's best placing in the contest thus far was second, which it achieved on two occasions: in 2002 with the song "7th Wonder" performed by Ira Losco and in the 2005 with the song "Angel" performed by Chiara. Both in 2022 and 2023, Malta failed to qualify for the final with the songs "I Am What I Am" performed by Emma Muscat and "Dance (Our Own Party)" performed by The Busker.[1]
The Maltese national broadcaster, Public Broadcasting Services (PBS), broadcasts the event within Malta and organises the selection process for the nation's entry. For the third year in a row, the broadcaster opted to select the Maltese entry through the national selection show Malta Eurovision Song Contest,[2] a format previously held between 2012 and 2018.

Malta Eurovision Song Contest 2024
[edit]Malta Eurovision Song Contest 2024 was the national final format developed by PBS to select the Maltese entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024. The competition consisted of a semi-final phase and final, and was held between October 2023 and February 2024.[3][4] Both phases were broadcast on Television Malta (TVM) as well as on the broadcaster's streaming platform tvmi.mt.
Format
[edit]The competition was divided into a semi-final and a final. The semi-final phase consisted of nine performances in each of the four weekly episodes of the TV show XOW between 27 October and 17 November 2023, where a combination of votes from a jury and a public televote determined a total of twelve qualifiers for the final. This consisted of a show week featuring pre-recorded performances and ad-hoc music videos created by the contestants, with the winner being decreed by a similar combination of votes from the jury and the public. The final was originally planned as a one-night show to be held in January 2024; on 9 January, however, PBS clarified the mechanics of the final stage: three episodes aired between 29 and 31 January, where the finalists were interviewed; the music videos for their songs premiered on 1 February; a "nostalgia night" was held on 2 February, where contestants performed Maltese or international songs from the past; and the final was held on 3 February.[3][5][6][7]
Competing entries
[edit]On 15 April 2023, PBS announced the songwriting camp MESC Music Exchange Camp would be held between 12 and 15 June, dedicated to the creation of 18 competing songs for their next national selection.[2]
On 21 August 2023, PBS published the regulations of Malta Eurovision Song Contest 2024, announcing that artists and composers would be able to submit their entries between 28 August and 20 September 2023. Songwriters from any nationality were able to submit songs as long as the artist was Maltese or possessed Maltese citizenship. Artists were able to submit as many songs as they wish, however, they could only compete with one in the semi-final. A dedicated panel selected the semi-finalist entries, which were announced on 18 October 2023.[3][8][9] It was later revealed that ten of them, without specifying which, had been selected from the MESC Music Exchange Camp.[10]
Among the selected competing artists were Moira Stafrace of Chris & Moira, who represented Malta in the 1994 contest, and Eliana Gomez Blanco, who represented Malta in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2019.[9][11]

Preparation and promotion
[edit]Ahead of the contest, "Loop" was revamped in February 2024 in collaboration with Swedish songwriters and producers Joy and Linnea Deb; the new version, recorded in Stockholm, was released on 14 March.[22][23]
As part of the promotion of her participation in the contest, Sarah Bonnici attended the PrePartyES in Madrid on 30 March 2024,[24] the London Eurovision Party on 7 April 2024,[25] the Eurovision in Concert event in Amsterdam on 13 April 2024[26] and the Copenhagen Eurovision Party (Malmöhagen) on 4 May 2024.[27] She will also perform at the Eurovision Village in Malmö on 7 May 2024.[28] She additionally launched a social media challenge on TikTok and Instagram between 17 March and 16 April 2024, with the creator of the best video performance for "Loop" being selected to win two tickets for semi-final 2 – where Bonnici is set to compete.[29]
At Eurovision
[edit]The Eurovision Song Contest 2024 is taking place at the Malmö Arena in Malmö, Sweden, and consists of two semi-finals held on the respective dates of 7 and 9 May and the final on 11 May 2024. All nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete in the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progress to the final. On 30 January 2024, an allocation draw was held to determine which of the two semi-finals, as well as which half of the show, each country would perform in; the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) split up the competing countries into different pots based on voting patterns from previous contests, with countries with favourable voting histories put into the same pot.[30] Malta was scheduled for the first half of the second semi-final.[31] The shows' producers then decided the running order for the semi-finals; Malta was set to open the show.[32]
In Malta, all three shows of the contest are being broadcast on TVM.[33][34][35]
Performance
[edit]Sarah Bonnici took part in technical rehearsals on 29 April and 2 May, followed by dress rehearsals on 8 and 9 May.[36] For her performance of "Loop" at the contest, she was accompanied by four supporting dancers.[37]
Semi-final
[edit]Malta opened the semi-final, before the entry from Albania.[32] The country was not announced among the top 10 entries in the semi-final and therefore failed to qualify to compete in the final.
Voting
[edit]Below is a breakdown of points awarded to and by Malta in the second semi-final and in the final. Voting during the three shows involved each country awarding sets of points from 1-8, 10 and 12: one from their professional jury and the other from televoting in the final vote, while the semi-final vote was based entirely on the vote of the public.[38] The Maltese jury consisted of Paul Anthony Abela, Gail Attard, Haley Azzopardi, Cipryan Cassar, and Matthew Mercieca.[39] In the second semi-final, Malta placed 16th and last with 13 points. Over the course of the contest, Malta awarded its 12 points to the Netherlands in the second semi-final, and to Switzerland (jury) and Ukraine (televote) in the final.[40][41]
The spokesperson for the Maltese jury at the final was Matt Blxck.[42]

Detailed voting results
[edit]Each nation's jury consisted of five music industry professionals who are citizens of the country they represent. Each jury, and individual jury member, is required to meet a strict set of criteria regarding professional background, as well as diversity in gender and age. No member of a national jury was permitted to be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently.[43] The individual rankings of each jury member as well as the nation's televoting results were released shortly after the grand final.
The following members comprised the Maltese jury:[39]
- Paul Anthony Abela
- Gail Attard
- Haley Azzopardi
- Cipryan Cassar
- Matthew Mercieca
