Malta se tieħu sehem fil-Festival tal-Eurovision 2013 li se jsir Malmö, ġewwa l-Iżvezja. Din se tkun is-26 parteċipazzjoni fil-Festival tal-Eurovision għal Malta. Il-Public Broadcasting Services kienet responsabbli li tospita l-avveniment għall-għażla tal-kanzunetta.
L-għażla nazzjonali
immodifikaNhar l-14 ta' Settembru 2012, il-PBS ħarġet talba għas-sottomissjonijiet għall-finali nazzjonali, bil-perjodu ta' sottomissjoni jagħlaq fil-31 ta' Ottubru 20012.[1] Kemm kompożituri Maltin kif ukoll dawk barranin setgħu jibgħatu s-sottomissjonijiet tagħhom, però l-kantanti kellhom ikollhom ċittadinanza Maltija. Fl-14 ta' Novembru 2012, il-PBS ħabbret li minn 181 sottomissjoni, 69 ġew imniżżla fit-tieni fażi. Fost dawn kien hemm daħliet minn parteċipanti preċedenti bħal Miriam Christine (1996), William Mangion (1993) u Fabrizio Faniello (2001 u 2006).[2] Fit-30 ta' Novembru 2012, waqt edizzjoni speċjali tal-programm televiżiv Xarabank, 24 semifinalista ġew imħabbra.[3] Fil-21 ta' Diċembru 2012, minħabba l-irtirar mill-konkors ta' Saska Hunt bil-kanzunetta "Dress Rehearsal", postha ħaditu Marilena Gauci bil-kanzunetta "Overrated".[4] Is-semifinali saret fl-1 ta' Frar 2013 ġewwa l-Malta Fairs & Conventions Centre f'Ta' Qali, fejn minn 24 intgħażlu 16 għall-finali tal-għada 2 ta' Frar.
Kemm is-semifinali kif ukoll il-finali ġew ippreżentati minn Elaine Saliba, li ppreżentat ukoll l-edizzjoni preċedenti, akkumpanjata mill-attur Gordon Bonello.
Kontroversja
immodifikaWaqt li kien għaddej il-votazzjoni, is-sit uffiċjali tal-Eurovision ħareġ aħbar li Amber kienet rebħet il-Festival. Aktar tard din l-aħbar tneħħiet minn fuq is-sit u l-Eurovision ħareġ apoloġija fuq Facebook u Twitter fejn stqarr li kien hemm "diffikultajiet tekniċi".[5] Aktar tard, ħareġ li l-ġurnalist li kien żvela din l-aħbar ma baqax aktar impjegat minn Eurovision.tv.[6]
