Before Eurovision

Specialen Evroviziski Den

Specialen Evroviziski Den was the national final format developed by MKRTV in order to select Macedonia's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2006.[1] The show took place on 4 March 2006 at the MKRTV studios in Skopje, hosted by Biljana Dragičević and Zoran Ljutkov and was broadcast on MTV 1 and MTV Sat.

Competing entries

A submission period was opened for interested artists and composers to submit their entries between 20 December 2005 and 15 January 2006.[1] MKRTV received 51 submissions at the closing of the deadline. Twenty entries were selected and the competing artists and songs were announced on 23 January 2006.[2]

Final

The final took place on 4 March 2006. Twenty entries competed and public televoting exclusively selected "Ninanajna" performed by Elena Risteska as the winner.[3]
