For 2007, the broadcaster opted to organise EMA 2007 to select the Slovenian entry. Before Eurovision EMA 2007 EMA 2007 was the 12th edition of the Slovenian national final format Evrovizijska Melodija (EMA). The competition was used by RTV Slovenija to select Slovenia's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2007. The 2007 edition of EMA took place at the Gospodarsko razstavišče in Ljubljana and consisted of three shows: two semi-finals and a final. The competition was broadcast on TVS 1 and online via the broadcaster's website rtvslo.si. Format Twenty-four songs competed in three televised shows consisting of two semi-finals on 1 and 2 February 2007 and a final on 3 February 2007. Twelve songs competed in each semi-final with public televoting exclusively selecting seven finalists out of the twelve songs to proceed to the final. In the final, the winner was selected over two rounds of public televoting. In the first round, two out of the fourteen competing songs were selected to proceed to a superfinal. In the superfinal, the winner was determined. Competing entries Artists and composers were able to submit their entries to the broadcaster between 27 November 2006 and 3 December 2006. 91 entries were received by the broadcaster during the submission period. An expert committee consisting of Miša Čermak (lyricist), Alenka Godec (singer), Vojko Sfiligoj (musician and composer) and Patrik Greblo (conductor and composer) selected twenty-three artists and songs for the competition from the received submissions, while an additional entry was provided by Eva Černe, the third season's winner of the talent show Bitka Talentov, who was directly invited by RTV Slovenija for the competition. The competing artists were announced on 12 December 2006. Shows Semi-final 1 The first semi-final of EMA 2007 took place on 1 February 2007, hosted by Bernarda Žarn and Peter Poles.
