A Major Change in This Year’s Voting Process

The Voting System: A Balanced Mix of Jury and Public Input

The results of Benidorm Fest 2025 are determined using a mixed voting system. The final outcome consists of:

  • 50% professional jury, composed of eight national and international music experts.
  • 50% public vote, divided into:
    • 25% SMS voting
    • 25% free voting via the RTVE Play app

For the first time, the demoscopic jury has been replaced by free public voting, allowing fans to participate via the official RTVE Play app, available on both Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
