The Israeli Final was held on February 12th at the Keshet Studio in Neve Ilan, hosted by Asi Azar & Rotem Sela. Before the final there were 34 shows which started on November 24th. The winner was chosen in two rounds of voting. In the first round the singers competed in duels - the winner of each duel was determined by a 6 member judging panel who could award 3% to each singer (15%) & a mobile phone app (85%) - two members of the judging panel (Static & Ben-El Tavori) voted as a pair in the first round. After the first round, the viewers awarded a 'wildcard' to the second round via the mobile phone app to one of the singers who lost their duel. In the second round the winner was chosen by the 6 member judging panel and 3 "expert" juries (50%) & a mobile phone app (50%).
