Le Malta Eurovision Song Contest (MESC) est la sélection maltaise qui permet à Malte de choisir son représentant au Concours Eurovision de la Chanson. C’est le radiodiffuseur national Public Broadcasting Services (PBS) qui l’organise.
Malte à l’Eurovision
La première participation de Malte à l’Eurovision remonte à 1971. Depuis ses débuts en 1971 jusqu’en 1976, le Malta Song Festival, un festival de la chanson existant créé en 1960, a été utilisé pour sélectionner les candidats, le gagnant représentant le pays au Concours Eurovision de la chanson. Depuis 1991, des finales nationales sous différents noms ont été organisées pour sélectionner les candidats, notamment Malta Song for Europe, Malta Eurovision Song Contest et Malta Eurosong .
En 2019 et 2020, la PBS a utilisé X Factor Malta pour sélectionner l’artiste. Le format de la finale nationale est revenu pour le concours de 2022.

Entry selection process and rules
The broadcaster opened a submission period several months before the national selection. Once the submission period was over, a jury examined all the entries and selected 24 songs for the semi-finals.
All competing artists must be Maltese citizens and for groups, the lead singer must be a Maltese citizen. However, songwriters may be of any nationality. Artists were allowed to submit several songs but they must not have been performed or published before 30 November 2024. Last but not least, Sarah Bonniciwinner of the MESC 2024, has not been authorised to compete in the MESC 2025 as lead performer.
