National Finals

Since the second edition, Solea has hosted some form of public song selection contest for Univision. But in the fourth edition, it was opened up for international juries to experiment with the points received versus result in contest. International juries (and the Solea jury) vote on the best 6 songs using a 6-1 point scale. The results in the national final are only used for guidance, so the top three songs are not guaranteed to be Univision entries. Any songs participating in the final round of the Soleani National Final are ineligible for being sent again to a future version, even if they are not sent to Univision.

Univision I

As this was the first edition of the contest, an entirely new concept to Universalis, Solea was unprepared and there was not enough time to host a selection contest. The songs sent this edition were internally selected.

Univision II

In the second edition, Solea hosted its first national final to select three entries for Univision. Besides the winners, results of the contest were not publicly released, and the voting was conducted by official juries from each of the major cities in the country.

Univision VII

The Soleani National Broadcasting Network announced that national selections will be held in a different format in prospective editions of the contest. The final selection from the seventh edition on will be limited to 12 songs. 4 countries will be selected at random for invitation to vote in the Soleani National Final. If nations decline, replacements will be found based on a preselected draw. To arrive at the final results, the international votes will be summed and converted to a new point scheme (10 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 -1 -2). The international jury votes, in their entirety, will be given the same weight as the Soleani national vote, both jury and televote combined. Pheeno - Open Up was given consideration in a superfinal against the three selected national final songs and was not chosen to replace any of them.

Ethanthova, Auspikitan, Aeridani, and Kallisto were selected and voted in the national final. The international jury winner was Memoria. The national vote winner was Nowhere.

Univision VIII and the future

Aeridani, Dotruga, Aahrus, Ethanthova, and Bongatar voted in the international jury. The voting method was reverted to the old national final format after reviewing the results, noting that the results were very similar.

Road to Jupiter was replaced at the beginning of the event in favor of recent Soleani radio hit, How You Love Me. After poor results of the replacement, and as a national final winner, Wolfgun may be entered next edition. A national final next year was considered "not likely, although a smaller scale production may be viable for next edition." A national final is planned for the tenth edition of Univision.
