Lithuania: Eurovizijos 2017 on 11 March

The Lithuanian broadcaster LRT has revealed the format and participants of "Eurovizijos 2017": 50 contestants and 10 shows. Final on 11 March 2017

The 2017-edition of the marathon selection, Eurovizijos, in Lithuania will take place in January, February and March 2017. A total of 10 shows will be held from 7 January 2017 to 11 March where the final of Eurovizijos 2017 will determine the Lithuanian representative at Eurovision Song Contest 2017 in Kyiv, Ukraine.

Last year, some of the participants complained that the selection phase was too long and they had to perform often, so this year the artists will appear in one of the first four shows, and if the artist proceeds to the next round, then again in the fifth show. Half of the artists will be relegated in the first four shows. Therefore, some artists will appear in the shows only once, but at least nobody will get tiredLauras Lučiūnas, producer of Eurovizijos, LRT

Since the introduction of the Semi-finals in 2004, Lithuania has been in Eurovision every year, but only qualified for the Grand Final eight times.
