2023 ← Melodije Istre i Kvarnera

The Melodije Istre i Kvarnera 2024 is the 54th edition of the annual Melodije Istre i Kvarnera, a song contest held annually in multiple towns in the Istria and Primorje-Gorski Kotar counties of Croatia. The Melodije Istre i Kvarnera 2024 marks the milestone 60th anniversary since its inaugural edition in 1964.

The 2024 edition of the contest is scheduled to take place from 1 June to 8 June 2024. The host cities and municipalities for this year's contest include Bakar, Kastav, Punat, Svetvinčenat, Pazin and Rijeka, where the final night will be held on 8 June 2024.[1]

Background

On 30 November 2023 the submission period where artists and composers were able to submit their entries to the organisers until 1 February 2024.[2] To be accepted, songs must either have lyrics written in the Chakavian dialect or Croatian literary language, or in Italian dialectal or literary language, with thematic relevance to the festival's region.[3] Alternatively, they must incorporate ethno elements from the Istrian-Kvarner region into the musical composition.[4]

Format

The Melodije Istre i Kvarnera 2024 contest will feature six host cities: Bakar, Kastav, Punat, Svetvinčenat, Pazin and Rijeka each hosting an evening of performances and voting.[5] Votes will be collected independently in each city throughout the event.[6] On the final night in Rijeka, the votes from all six evenings will be aggregated to determine the overall winner of the contest.[6] Throughout the event, all songs will be performed on each evening, with the winner of the previous night having the honor of performing first on the subsequent day.[6]
