As you may remember, RAI opted to revise the Sanremo experience by eliminating the seperate “big” and “nuove proposte” categories, making the festival an even playing field for artists. In order to ensure that newcomers are given a fair chance to compete with big names during Sanremo, the two winners of Sanremo Giovani will be given a guaranteed spot in the Sanremo Festival in February. This means that two of these artists could be Eurovision contenders for Tel Aviv.
The televised show will take place on December 13th and 14th, a week before Festivali i Kenges begins in Albania.
