EMA 2025 Format and Voting Process
The EMA 2025 final will take place on 1 February 2025, where the 12 acts will perform their entries. The winner will be determined through two rounds of voting:
1. First Round:
Five specialized juries will award points using the Eurovision voting system (1-8, 10, and 12 points):
• Music jury (singers, musicians, producers, and songwriters)
• Television jury (editors, presenters, directors, and choreographers)
• Radio jury (radio editors, journalists, and presenters)
• OGAE Slovenia jury (Eurovision fan club members)
• International influencer jury (Eurovision bloggers, vloggers, and online journalists)
After the jury votes are tallied, the top two entries will move forward to the Superfinal.
2. Superfinal:
The two finalists will perform their songs again, and the winner will be decided exclusively by public voting via telephone.
