In the recent finale of Latvia's 'Supernova 2026,' Atvara won against nine other competitors through a combined voting system involving viewers and a professional jury. The second place was secured by the act Kautkaili with their song 'Te un Tagad' ('Here and Now'), while Emilija took third place with 'All We Ever Had.' This year's competition featured a total of 124 songs submitted, with a selection committee made up of representatives from the Latvian music industry, events sector, television, and international professionals narrowing it down to 24 entries for the semifinals.

Viewers and the jury participated in two semifinals, ultimately voting for ten songs to reach the final round. Latvia's representative, Atvara, will perform in the second semifinal of the Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna on May 14, with the potential to advance to the final on May 16. This selection marks an important moment for Latvia as it prepares to showcase its latest artistic talents on a prominent international stage, and the results of the competition may have implications for the country's standing in the Eurovision community.

The process reflects not only the competitive nature of music selection for Eurovision but also the engagement of the public and industry experts in determining which entries will represent Latvia. As anticipation builds towards the performances in Vienna, both the artists and supporters are eager to see how this year's entries will resonate with audiences and juries alike, potentially influencing future selections in the years to come.
