Footnotes

  1. It was the national Final for Zendarifestivalen 10, however ÜTV's attitudes changed about the spin-off contest and opted for a serious internal selection instead.
  2. Tamta was originally going to host this edition, but after sustaining injuries after a pyro malfunction at one of her concerts, ÜTV pulled her out of hosting, so she can recover. She was replaced with another "Eurovision 2019" artist Chingiz Mustafayev
