Türkiye Radyo ve Televizyon Kurumu (TRT) held the national final on 1 March 1997 at its television studios in Ankara, hosted by Bülent Özveren and Meltem Ersan. Ten songs competed, and the winner was determined by an expert jury. Songs #1, 3, 4, 5 and 8 were performed by the use of backing tracks; however, they were still backed by the orchestra with their respective conductors. Songs #6, 9 and 10 were played live, while songs #2 and 7 used full playback. Ümit Eroğlu was the chief conductor in this preselection. His orchestra consisted of 49 musicians.^[1] ^[2]
