San Marino has selected Senhit to represent the country at the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 in Vienna with the song “Superstar,” featuring Boy George. The singer won the San Marino Song Contest 2026, the national final organised by broadcaster SMRTV to choose the country’s Eurovision entry.
A high-profile collaboration
The winning entry “Superstar” features legendary British singer Boy George, although he did not appear live on stage during the final performance. Instead, he was included in the staging through background visuals. The winner of the competition was decided entirely by a five-member professional jury, which selected Senhit’s entry as the overall winner of the show. This will be the third time seeing Senhit representing San Marino at Eurovision.

San Marino’s Eurovision journey
As one of the smallest countries in Europe, San Marino made its debut in the competition in 2008 with Miodio and the song “Complice”. Since then, they have participated in the competition 14 times, qualifying for the grand final three times. Their best result was in 2019, with Serhat and “Say Na Na Na”.
Italian DJ Gabry Ponte represented San Marino in 2025 with his song “Tutta L’Italia” – the original theme song for Sanremo that year. Performing in the first semi-final, San Marino qualified for the final, where it ultimately placed last with 37 points. 28 points came from the juries, while 9 came from the televote.
