Regarding the voting system, the public vote is worth 50% of the final mark and 50% is worth the jury vote. Those present can vote by SMS to a number that will be announced during the contest or online, on the event website.

Contestants who will participate in the contest on Friday evening can be voted from 19:00 to 00:00, and those who enter the contest on Saturday evening, can be voted in the same way, on that day.

This year’s edition will be presented by Anca Țurcașiu and Aurelian Temișan, in turn former competitors at “Mamaia National Light Music Festival”. The two will give the atmosphere of nostalgia, a modern air, full of hope for the new generations of artists who will participate.
