Who Will Host the Festival?

How Does Voting Work?
Votes can be placed via three methods:
- Jury of the press room, web, and TV
- Public televoting via landline or mobile phone
- Jury of the radio
The voting process will differ over the five nights. For example, entrants are judged by the jury of the press room, web, and TV on the first night.
On the second night, half of the entrants are judged by a 50/50 split system of the jury of the radio and televoting, and the votes will be added to the first night’s results. Two of the four newcomers are then judged by the three juries to determine the festival’s first finalist.
On the third night, half of the entrants from the Big Artists and Newcomers are judged, similar to the previous night.
By the fourth night, the cover night is judged by a split system of two juries (33% each) and televoting (34%) to determine the Big Artist and Newcomer winners of the night.
On the fifth night, televoting is the only voting method, and the votes are added to the results from the first three nights of the festival. The top five will enter a final voting round using televoting and two juries to determine the Sanremo Music Festival 2025 winner.
What Will the Festival’s Winner Earn?
Since 2015, the festival’s winner will receive the right of refusal to represent Italy in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025.
