Festivali I Këngës 42

Festivali I Këngës 42 took place in the Palace Of Congresses in Tirana, Albania. There were two semifinals (18 & 19 December 2003) and a final (20 December 2003). This contest was used to select the first Eurovision Song Contest entry for Albania. 30 songs competed for the win but only 18 made it to the final. In the end, Anjeza Shahini won the first prize and went on to represent Albania in Eurovision. Mariza Ikonomi achieved a disappointing second place and left the stage without receiving her award. The amount of points for each singer was not announced. Instead, only the Top 3 places were made public. All the singing was LIVE.
