The San Marino Song Contest is set to feature Boy George, although he will not perform live but rather collaborate through a video appearance. This year's event will take place on March 6 at Teatro Dogana and will be hosted by Simona Ventura, the creative director of the contest. The San Marino Song Contest has gained prominence over the years, especially under the leadership of Roberto Sergio, the director-general of Rai and San Marino TV, as it serves as a gateway to the prestigious Eurovision Song Contest held in Vienna this year.

Last year, the contest drew attention when Gabry Ponte performed, representing Italy without technically being an Italian contestant. Recently, at the Sanremo festival, the ten finalists for the upcoming contest were announced. Notable names include Andreas Habibi (UAE), Dolcenera (Italy), Edward Maya (Romania), and several others from various countries, all vying for a chance to secure their place at Eurovision.

Boy George's participation highlights the increasing international collaboration and recognition of the event, as artists from different nations come together for this music competition. The contest's evolving nature demonstrates its importance within the European music scene and offers artists a platform to reach wider audiences, contributing to the overall dynamism of the music industry in the region.
