Background
[
edit
]
Prior to the 2003 contest, Slovenia had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest eight times since its first entry in
1993
.
[1]
Slovenia's highest placing in the contest, to this point, has been seventh place, which the nation achieved on two occasions: in
1995
with the song "Prisluhni mi" performed by
Darja ?vajger
and in
2001
with the song "Energy" performed by
Nu?a Derenda
. The country's only other top ten result was achieved in
1997
when
Tanja Ribi?
performing "Zbudi se" placed tenth. At the prior years contest in
2002
, "
Samo ljubezen
" performed by
Sestre
placed 13th.
The Slovenian national broadcaster,
Radiotelevizija Slovenija
(RTV Slovenija), broadcasts the event within Slovenia and organises the selection process for the nation's entry. The Slovenian entry for the Eurovision Song Contest has traditionally been selected through a national final entitled
Evrovizijska Melodija (EMA)
, which has been produced with variable formats. For 2003, the broadcaster opted to organise
EMA 2003
to select the Slovenian entry.

Sixteen songs competed in a televised show where the winner was selected over two rounds of voting. In the first round, the 50/50 combination of points from a five-member expert jury and a public televote selected three songs out of the sixteen competing songs to proceed to a superfinal.
