What is Sanremo Giovani ?
Sanremo Giovani is the yearly contest where new artists compete for a spot at Festival di Sanremo. This year, artistic director Carlo Conti decided to revert to the previous format, where two concurrent categories existed: in February 2024: one for established artists, competing for the main trophy, and one for newcomers. 4 artists will compete in the newcomers’ category, known as Nuove Proposte.
How Does it work?
24 artists have been shortlisted to participate in Sanremo Giovani. Each week, Rai 2 will broadcast one of the four preliminary heats, where six artists compete in duels against each other for one of the twelve spots in the semi-final round. The results of each heat are determined by the combination of votes from an expert jury (50%) and the televote (50%). The show is hosted by Alessandro Cattelan, who will also co-host the final night of Sanremo in February 2025.
