Malta has not only confirmed its participation in Eurovision 2026 but has also announced the expansion of its successful Malta Eurovision Music Exchange Camp for its third consecutive year. The announcement demonstrates Malta’s strategic approach to Eurovision preparation, with PBS confirming that the Malta Eurovision Song Contest will be held in 2026 to select the country’s representative for the Austrian-hosted competition
The songwriting camp, scheduled to take place between June 15-24, 2025, represents a significant investment in the creative development of Malta’s Eurovision entry.
Applications for artists interested in participating were opened with a deadline of June 5, 2025, at 18:00 CEST. The initiative brings together both local and international talent, with confirmed participants including notable figures such as Dav Jr and Jean-Paul from The Busker (Malta 2023), Sarah Bonnici (Malta 2024), and international songwriters like Linnea Deb, who has co-written seven Eurovision entries including “Heroes”.
The program’s track record demonstrates its effectiveness in Eurovision preparation, with last year’s camp producing 18 songs for the Malta Eurovision Song Contest. Additionally, 40% of the camp’s participants went on to work on songs for other countries that competed in Eurovision 2025, showcasing the international impact of Malta’s investment in Eurovision songwriting talent.
