The rules stated that every singer has to be of Maltese nationality (or have a dual citizenship) and was allowed submit one or two songs. The composers and authors of the songs could be either of Maltese nationality or from countries where Maltese composers and authors would also be allowed to participate. Every composer and author could submit as many songs as he or she wants and each song could also be submitted twice with two different singers.
The selection of the Maltese entry for the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest took place in four phases:
From all submitted songs, up to 35 entries were chosen for the second phase. If one song had been submitted with two different singers, only one version could reach the second phase.
In the second pahse, 16 songs were chosen to reach the semi final.
In 2008, no televoting was held in the semi final; instead the eight best songs were chosen by a jury of seven experts.
In the national final, the remaining eight songs competed and televoting (80%) and a jury (20%) chose the winner.
