Everything is faster and more streamlined for the next edition of Sanremo Giovani, as announced by the artistic director Carlo Conti. The age of participation is reduced, which will go from 16 to 26 years of age (it reached 30 in the last edition), and five second evenings on Rai2 are added to the competition: four dedicated to challenges (12, 19, 26 November and 3 December), in which 6 artists will perform their songs live but only 3 of them will pass the round, and the semi-final on 10 December in which the 12 selected artists will be reduced to 6, plus 2 artists from the Sanremo Area competition.
On 18 December the final challenge in prime time on Rai 1, live from the Sanremo Casino: 8 potential New Proposals will take to the field to win the right to perform in February during Sanremo 2025, but only 4 (three from Sanremo Giovani and one from the Sanremo Area) will be able to land on the stage of the Ariston Theater for Sanremo 75, from 4 to 8 February. These are the main innovations in the Sanremo Giovani regulations, online from today 27 June.
“The reintroduction of the New Proposals category, separate from the Bigs, is intended to constitute a concrete moment of further valorization of young people. The model that has been identified, and also the lowering of the chronological age, serves in fact to build a three-month long growth path, between the various stages of Sanremo Giovani”, explains Conti. “All of this – adds the artistic director and host, who returned to the festival after the Amadeus era – is aimed at identifying the potential Bigs of the future through the challenge in the New Proposals category in February”.
