Eurovision Song Contest 2025
[edit ]Supernova 2025
[edit ]Supernova 2025 was the tenth edition of the national final format used to select Latvia's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest. The competition commenced on 1 February 2025 with a semi-final and concluded with a final on 8 February 2025.[1] [2] The format of the competition consisted of two shows: a semi-final and a final. The semi-final, held on 1 February 2025, featured nineteen competing entries from which the top ten advanced to the final. A professional jury also had the opportunity to advance a wildcard act to the final from the remaining non-qualifying entries in the semi-final, but opted against doing so.[2] Results during the semi-final and final shows were determined by the 50/50 combination of votes from a jury panel and a public vote, with both the jury and public vote assigning points from 1–8, 10 and 12 based on the number of competing songs in the respective show. Ties were decided in favour of the entries that received higher points from the public. Viewers were able to vote via telephone or via SMS.[3]
On 20 November 2024, it was announced that Tautumeitas was selected as a semi-finalist in Supernova 2025 with the song "Bur man laimi."[4] The song won the contest in the final. Therefore, they will represent Latvia in the upcoming Eurovision 2025.[2]
