The SRG enterprise units (SRF, RTS, RSI and RTR) are looking for a song and artist(s) to represent Switzerland at the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest.
Applications will be accepted between August 25th, 2022, and September 8th, 2022 (deadline 10pm).
In principle, anyone can apply. If two entries are awarded the same number of points, performers who are Swiss nationals or resident in Switzerland will be given priority. However, nationality is not a deciding factor and does not prohibit anybody from singing a song.
NB: All performers must be at least 16 years old as of 1.5.2023. If a minor enters the competition, their parents/guardians will be contacted to seek permission for them to take part.
Entering a song for Eurovision 2023 gives you the chance to perform for Switzerland at Eurovision.
The application/entry procedure is organised and run by the SRG enterprise units. They are the data controllers under data protection law.
