Voting System

The winning song will be chosen through a two-round voting system:

  1. In the first round, five jury panels will vote, with each panel awarding points to every song, similar to the Eurovision voting system. Each jury panel will consist of five members, divided into categories: musicians, TV professionals, radio professionals, members of the OGAE Eurovision fan club, and Eurovision-focused social media influencers.
  2. In the second round, the two songs with the highest total points will compete against each other. The winner of EMA 2025 will be determined by public televoting.

Slovenia in Eurovision 2024:

“Veronika” is the name of the song performed by Raiven, who was chosen to represent Slovenia through an internal selection by the national broadcaster. Slovenia advanced to the final after placing ninth in the first semi-final with 51 points, and in the grand final, they finished 23rd with 27 points.

This is the second consecutive time Slovenia has qualified for the final, matching their qualification streaks in 2014-2015 and 2018-2019. However, this is Slovenia’s lowest placement in a final since Eurovision 2014.
