Criteria for Eurovizija.LT 2025
This announcement confirms Lithuania’s participation at Eurovision 2025 and provides the first step towards finding Silvester Belt’s successor. The period opened on the 13th of August. Artists and songwriters have until the 11th of November to submit their entries to LRT. The national final will follow the same structure as 2024’s version – the audience will have the final say on who represents Lithuania in Switzerland. While the dates for the national final are not yet public, the article confirms the semi-finals (of which there will be no more than five) will begin in January, like last year.
Lithuania’s Eurovision History
The Baltic nation made its debut at the Eurovision Song contest in 1994, where Ovidijus Vyšniauskas represented them with the song “Lopšinė mylimai”, which placed 25th. Since then, Lithuania has participated 22 times and made the Grand Final 15 times. LT United gave Lithuania their best ever Eurovision result back in 2006, where the country placed 6th.
In 2024, Silvester Belt represented Lithuania, participating with the song “Luktelk”. Performing in the first semi-final, Silvester qualified for the final in fourth place. In the Grand Final, Lithuania finished in 14th place overall, with 90 points – 32 points came from the juries, with another 58 points from the televote.
