This edition had 100% televoting instead of the previous year's 50%-50% mix with a jury. Composers were contacted to write one song each, although the identities of the performers of the songs were to be decided by the composers.^[1]

The host of Festival da Canção was Pavilhão Atlântico, and the winner was Sabrina with the song "Dança comigo".
