If it is a group or a duet, the lead singer should also be a Maltese citizen.

Interested parties can submit their participation in the following ways:

-Through the special form on the official website of X Factor Malta

In addition to the right to represent Malta in the 64th Eurovision Song Contest, the winner of X Factor will also win a contract with Sony Music Italy.

More details will be announced from Maltese public broadcaster in the next period. X Factor Malta is expected to be launched in October, being essentially the first national final of the year to open the curtain.
