Background
Prior to the 2018 Contest, Latvia had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest eighteen times since its first entry in 2000.[2] Latvia won the contest once in 2002 with the song "I Wanna" performed by Marie N. Following the introduction of semi-finals for the 2004, Latvia was able to qualify to compete in the final between 2005 and 2008. Between 2009 and 2014, the nation had failed to qualify to the final for six consecutive years. In the 2015 contest, Latvia managed to qualify to the final with the song "Love Injected" performed by Aminata, which placed 6th in the final, scoring 186 points, giving them their best placing since 2005. In 2017, Latvia was represented by Triana Park and the song "Line", but the country did not qualify for the final.
The Latvian national broadcaster, Latvijas Televīzija (LTV), broadcasts the event within Latvia and organises the selection process for the nation's entry.[3] Latvia has selected their entries for the Eurovision Song Contest through a national final. Since their debut in 2000 until 2012, LTV had organised the selection show Eirodziesma. In a response to the nation's failure to qualify to the final at Eurovision since 2008, between 2013 and 2014, the competition was rebranded and retooled as Dziesma. However, after failing to produce successful entries those two years, LTV developed the Supernova national final in order to select their 2015 entry. The competition produced two Latvian entries in 2015 and 2016 that managed to qualify the nation to the final of the Eurovision Song Contest. In 2018, LTV announced that the Supernova format would return once again to select the Latvian entry.[4]
Before Eurovision
Supernova 2018
Supernova 2018 was the fourth edition of Supernova, the music competition that selects Latvia's entries for the Eurovision Song Contest.[4]
Format
The format of the competition consisted of four shows: three semi-finals and a final. The three semi-finals featured seven competing entries each, from which two were selected to advance to the final from each show.[5] Results during the semi-final and final shows were determined by a jury panel and votes from the public.[4]
Competing entries
Applications could be submitted to the broadcaster between 6 September 2017 to 15 October 2017.[4] A jury of music experts appointed by LTV evaluated the submitted entries and selected the artists and songs that would compete in the televised shows. 93 entries were submitted, and 63 were shortlisted to proceed to the online voting stage. LTV introduced an online voting system for Internet users so that the jury panel could take the public's opinion into consideration. From 18 October 2017 to 29 October 2017, Internet users could listen to the 63 entries while the artists remained anonymous, and rate the songs by either selecting the “Like” or “Dislike” option for each entry.[6] The jury then selected 33 entries, taking the results of the online voting into consideration, to proceed to the live hearing; auditions in front of the jury took place on 5 November 2017 at the Alfa Park in Riga. The jury consisted of Supernova producer Ilze Jansone, music producer DJ Rudd, host Toms Grēviņš and jazz singer Jolanta Gulbe.[7] The selected performers and songs were determined by 9 November 2017. The competing artists and songs were announced on 6 December 2017.[5][8]

The second semi-final took place on 10 February 2018. Seven of the competing entries performed, and three qualified to the final via a combination of votes from a jury of music professionals and the Latvian public.[9][10]
At first, only two entries had qualified, MADARA and Ritvars. However, some days later it was announced that there had been technical errors in the voting during the semifinal, which caused Markus Riva not to qualify. In order to fix this, producers decided to allow both Riva and Ritvars to qualify to the final, due to the errors being internal. As a result, three artists qualified instead of two.[12]

At Eurovision
According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big 5" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progress to the final. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) split up the competing countries into six different pots based on voting patterns from previous contests, with countries with favourable voting histories put into the same pot. On 29 January 2018, a special allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals, as well as which half of the show they would perform in. Latvia was placed into the second semi-final, to be held on 10 May 2018, and was scheduled to perform in the second half of the show.[16]
Once all the competing songs for the 2018 contest had been released, the running order for the semi-finals was decided by the shows' producers rather than through another draw, so that similar songs were not placed next to each other. Latvia was set to perform in position 14, following the entry from Hungary and preceding the entry from Sweden.[17]
Semi-final
Voting
Voting during the three shows involved each country awarding two sets of points from 1-8, 10 and 12: one from their professional jury and the other from televoting. Each nation's jury consisted of five music industry professionals who are citizens of the country they represent, with their names published before the contest to ensure transparency. This jury judged each entry based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act. In addition, no member of a national jury was permitted to be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently. The individual rankings of each jury member as well as the nation's televoting results were released shortly after the grand final.
