represented at the <a href="/wiki/Eurovision_Song_Contest_1973" title="Eurovision Song Contest 1973">Eurovision Song Contest 1973</a>. The Maltese participating broadcaster, the Maltese Broadcasting Authority (MBA), was to select its entry through a national final. Deeming the quality level of the songs in the pre-selection for the national final to be too low, MBA opened a new submission period to find new songs. These new songs also didn't meet MBA's required level, so the broadcaster withdrew from the contest. Malta was drawn to perform in 6th place. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Before_Eurovision">Before Eurovision</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Malta_in_the_Eurovision_Song_Contest_1973&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Before Eurovision"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Song_for_Europe_1973"><i>Song for Europe 1973</i></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Malta_in_the_Eurovision_Song_Contest_1973&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Song for Europe 1973"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><i>Song for Europe 1973</i> was the national final format developed by the Maltese Broadcasting Authority (MBA) which determined the song that would represent Malta at the <a href="/wiki/Eurovision_Song_Contest_1973" title="Eurovision Song Contest 1973">Eurovision Song Contest 1973</a>. The competition consisted of two parts, and was almost identical in format to their <a href="/wiki/Malta_in_the_Eurovision_Song_Contest_1971" title="Malta in the Eurovision Song Contest 1971">1971</a> and <a href="/wiki/Malta_in_the_Eurovision_Song_Contest_1972" title="Malta in the Eurovision Song Contest 1972">1972</a> national finals. The first part was the Malta Song Festival 1972, where the top 6 songs would then go on to the <i>Song for Europe</i> contest. The two contests were organised by two separate organisations; the Malta Song Festival was organised by the Malta Song Festival Board, while <i>Song for Europe</i> was organised by MBA. The use of Malta Song Festival as part of the Maltese national final was a cooperation between the two organisations, which lead to the broadcaster not actually being in control of the songs in its own national final. A new rule in Malta Song Festival gave MBA the right to decide after Malta Song Festival 1972, whether the songs are of high enough quality to be sent to the Eurovision Song Contest, and allowed them to withdraw their participation if they felt the song quality was too low.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Competing_Entries">Competing Entries</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Malta_in_the_Eurovision_Song_Contest_1973&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Competing Entries"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Malta Song Festival Board received 62 submissions, of which 2 were invalid, and were tasked with selecting 14 to compete in Malta Song Festival 1972.
