In the first phase of the contest songs are voted on in national preliminary rounds.
The winners of these countries will contest for the title ‘The Best New Song in the World 2009’.
If a country has only few entries, these songs will compete in 'Other countries' section. In this case all the votes already achieved will be valid.
The amount of rounds in the qualifying contest will be determined by the quantity of songs taking part.
Voting starts at the end of September 2009 and the first round lasts about two months. Artists and bands can still participate in the contest until the end of the first round.
