    The results

    Change of direction for Festivali i Këngës as the outcome of this year's edition which will determine the Albanian Eurovision 2023 representative will not be determined by a jury panel or a combination of jury and public voting, but exclusively by the televoting verdict. 

    Thus, the public only will have a say on who will be flying to Liverpool next May to represent Albania. However, in addition the jury will award prizes in three categories: 

    • First, Second and Third in the jury vote
    • First for young artists and alternative groups
    • First for established artists
