After confirming their participation at Eurovision 2023 in August, TVR has confirmed that it has approved the budget for its Eurovision 2023 participation and that it wants to take a new approach in their participation in 2023.
Want to take a different approach for Eurovision 2023
The budget for Romania’s 2023 participation was approved at the third meeting of TVR’s board of directors, where it was revealed that the Romanian delegation would like to take a different approach for 2023 and also confirming that the public would be selecting its representative.
We are a new team and we propose a different Eurovision contest, based on transparency, professionalism and digitization. We changed the voting system: only the public will choose the piece that will represent Romania. And one more thing: this Eurovision will be on air on TVR and much more present than in the past online, on social media networks
Mihai Predescu, ESC 2023 project manager
The team in charge of Romania’s participation in 2023 are currently finlising the details regarding its selection process for 2023, with the registration period to be announced as soon as possible.
Romania’s Eurovision history
Romania joined the Eurovision family in the Eastern wave of enlargement, making their debut in 1994. Their entry – Dan Bittman’s “Dincolo de nori” – finished in 21st place with a total of 14 points. At the introduction of semi-finals, Romania found their stride and were present in every Eurovision final until 2018. Romania’s best result is third place, scored twice in 2005 and 2010 respectively.
In 2022, Romania was represented by WRS with his song – “Llámame”. Performing at the second semi-final in Turin, Romania qualified for the final for the first time since 2017. At the close of voting in the final, Romania finished 18th in a field of 25, scoring 65 points.
