The Malta Eurovision Song Contest 2011 is the name given to the national selection process for Malta's entry to the Eurovision Song Contest in 2011. The name marks a change from the preceding year, ushering in a new set of rules for the selection process, including allowing non-Maltese lyricists and composers to participate in the contest.

The Event

The semifinal and final of the national selection process will be held on Friday 11 and Saturday 12 February 2011 at the Republic Hall of the Mediterranean Conference Centre in Valletta.

The event is organized by PBS Malta and will be transmitted live on TVM. The hosts for the show are Valerie Vella and Keith Demicoli.

The song selected from this contest will represent Malta at the Eurovision Song Contest taking place in Düsseldorf, Germany, in May 2011.


Songs

The 24 songs selected for the semifinal were announced by PBS on Saturday 8 January 2011 via the event's official website.

16 songs will advance to the final on 12 February. The songs will be judged by an equally valued panel of professionals from the entertainment industry and a public televote.

Here's the list of songs in order of appearance during the semi-final round of the selection process on Friday 11 Feburary:

A preview of all the songs, directed by Where's Everybody?'s Reuben Sant, was presented for the first time in public on Friday 15 January 2011 during the last hour of an edition of Xarabank on TVM, featuring a public debate with Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi, following a mass protest against Malta's financial situation, organized by the Partit Laburista in Valletta. Full video clips appeared online by the following morning through an official website produced by PBS Malta.

The video clips premiered during Xarabank will also be used for promotional purposes ahead of the contest on various other TV programmes. The clips are scheduled to appear during the following TV shows: 12:05, Sibtek, Ħadd Għalik, Bonġu and Bla Agenda. In previous years, various TV shows would have singers lip-sync to the songs during the respective TV programme, often making for awkward backdrops or uneven presentation of the singers competing in the contest.
