After reaching the semifinals of The Voice Kids in 2023, Martina won the title of Best European Junior Singer 2024 at the Tour Music Fest in San Marino, where she also earned a special mention from Maestro Beppe Vessicchio.
Performing with just her guitar and voice, Martina will mark San Marino’s fifth participation in Junior Eurovision and their second consecutive entry following last year’s return. In 2024, Idols SM represented the country with 'Come noi', finishing 17th overall after a nine-year absence.
The broadcaster also revealed that San Marino will participate in the Eurovision Song Contest 2026.
SMRTV, the Ministry of Tourism, and Media Evolution have signed a three-year agreement to organize the San Marino Song Contest, which will adopt a new format featuring two semifinals and a Grand Final, inspired by Eurovision.
Denny Montesi, CEO of Media Evolution, will succeed Alessandro Capicchioni as San Marino’s Head of Delegation, while four-time Eurovision representative Valentina Monetta has been named ambassador of the contest. SMRTV Director General Roberto Sergio confirmed the country’s continued participation in Eurovision despite ongoing concerns about the voting system and its impact on smaller countries.
