Malta in EuroMusic Song Contest 5

Malta participated in the fifth edition of the EuroMusic Song Contest. The Maltese broadcaster, TVM, was responsible for their act.

Selection process
For their second participation the Maltese broadcaster decided to select their submission internally. The TVM decided to perform a song in their two national languages, English and Maltese.

Later on, "Dawra tond" was selected as act for the fifth edition in Dublin.

At EuroMusic Song Contest
Malta was drawn to perform third following Spain and preceding Italy.

Malta became 4th with 89 points. Because they finished last in the previous edition, it was their best result so far in the contest.

Voting
The voting during the final consisted of 50 percent public televoting and 50 percent from a jury deliberation. The jury consisted of five music industry professionals who were citizens of the country they represent. This jury was asked to judge each contestant based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act. In addition, no member of a national jury could be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently.

Below is a breakdown of points awarded to Malta and awarded by Malta in the final.
