Moldovan broadcaster TRM has now released more details about their national selection process. The submission period for artists to enter the selection has now closed, and a total of 40 acts have registered. This is low compared to previous years, where there were 47 in 2016, 50 in 2015 and 68 in 2014. Despite that, the national selection will go ahead in the coming weeks.
The next stage of the process will be live auditions, which will take place on the 21st of January. From here, as we understand, there will be a semi-final stage of 14 acts. Four acts will qualify to the final through a jury vote, and four more will be voted in by televote. The final will be held on the 25th of February.
