A total of twenty-four entries were selected and twelve competed in each semi-final. Ten qualifiers were ultimately selected to compete in the final where "Don't Break My Heart" performed by Nicola was selected as the winner after scoring top marks from a seven-member jury panel and a public televote.

Background

Main article: Romania in the Eurovision Song Contest

Prior to the 2003 contest, Televiziunea Română (TVR) had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest representing Romania four times since its first entry in 1994. To this point, its highest placing in the contest has been ninth place, achieved in 2002 with the song "Tell Me Why" performed by Monica Anghel and Marcel Pavel.[1]

As part of its duties as participating broadcaster, TVR organises the selection of its entry in the Eurovision Song Contest and broadcasts the event in the country. The broadcaster confirmed its intentions to participate at the 2003 contest on 29 May 2002.[2] TVR has consistently selected its entry through national finals that feature a competition among several artists and songs, a procedure which the broadcaster opted for once again to select its 2003 entry.[3]

Before Eurovision

Selecția Națională 2003

Selecția Națională 2003 was the national final organised by TVR in order to select its entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2003. The competition consisted of three shows: two semi-final featuring twelve songs each to be held on 15 and 22 February 2003, respectively, and a final featuring ten songs to be held on 1 March 2003. The broadcaster held all shows at its television studios in Bucharest, hosted by Kitty Cepraga and Leonard Miron and televised on România 1, TVR 2 and Romania International.[4][5]

Competing entries

TVR opened a submission period for artists and composers to submit their entries between 15 December 2002 and 17 January 2003. The broadcaster received 233 submissions after the submission deadline passed. A five-member expert committee reviewed the received submissions on 23 January 2002 and selected twenty-four entries for the national final.[6][7] The competing entries were announced on 25 January 2003.[8] Among the competing artists was Mălina Olinescu, who represented Romania in 1998.[9]

Shows

Semi-finals

The two semi-finals took place on 15 and 22 February 2003. In each semi-final twelve songs competed and six qualified to the final based on the 50/50 combination of the votes from a seven-member jury panel and public televoting. The members of the jury panel that voted during the semi-finals were: Marcel Dragomir, Monica Anghel, Mihai Pocorschi, Titus Andrei, Andrei Partoș, Petre Magdin, and Mircea Drăgan.[10][11]

Following the semi-finals, Aurelian Temișan withdrew one of his two songs, "Goodbye, Hello, Goodbye", from the final as he didn't want to split his televotes between both songs, while "Dominus" performed by Costi Ioniţă was disqualified from the final due to claims that it had similarities with the song "Ty prosti" by the Russian group Hi-Fi.[12]
