"Here we go" - PeR
The Latvian Final was held on February 16th at the Juras Varti Theatre House in Ventspils, hosted by Martin Meiers, Madara Botmane & Anta Aizupe. Before the final there were two semi-finals - click here for details: LATVIAN SEMI-FINALS 2013 The winner was chosen in two rounds of voting - firstly to select the top 3 and then to select the winner. The voting in both rounds was a mixture of televoting (50%) and an "expert" jury (50%) - points were awarded in terms of placings (1st place = 1 point etc), therefore the 3 lowest scoring songs progressed to the second round where the lowest scoring song was chosen as the winner.
