Everyone had to send the composition suitable for the resulting genre. There were no restrictions on the date of the release of the composition, as well as in languages. The performers who took part in Eurovision were not allowed.

Those who were not satisfied with the chosen genre were also given the opportunity to re-select a genre without the right to refuse. Five additional genres were prepared for this purpose.
