Concours Eurovision de la Chanson
The Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SRG SSR) held a national final to select its entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 1993. For the first time since 1984, an internal jury selected the songs for the national final, rather than the broadcaster's regional divisions using their own selection methods for the event.[1] The broadcaster received 165 total song submissions, and initially selected eight to take part in the selection, with four in Italian, three in French, and two in German.[1] "Mondo i domani" by Duilio was disqualified due to the song breaching the rules regarding song submissions.[2] He would later represent Switzerland in 1994.
Swiss German and Romansh broadcaster Schweizer Fernsehen der deutschen und rätoromanischen Schweiz (SF DRS) staged the national final on 6 February 1993 at 20:30 CET at its television studios in Zürich. It was hosted by Sandra Simó— who represented Switzerland in 1991.[2] The national final was broadcast on SF,[3] TSR (with commentary from Jean-Marc Richard),[4] and TSI.[4]
