    Portugal in the Eurovision Song Contest
    ◄1992 1993 1994►

    Portugal took part at the Eurovision Song Contest 1993 in Millstreet, Ireland, represented by Anabela with the song "A cidade (até ser dia)". Anabela was selected through the annual Festival da Canção, Portugal's Eurovision selection show, to represent the country at the contest in Ireland.

    Before Eurovision[edit]

    Festival da Canção 1993[edit]

    The Portuguese broadcaster, Rádio e Televisão de Portugal (RTP), used the popular Festival da Canção to select their entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 1993.

    Format[edit]

    The format for the 1993 Portuguese selection was similar to that of the previous year, but with a few adjustments. Once again, there would be five semi-finals, and the qualifiers were chosen by a panel of five judges (among them former Eurovision participants Fernando Tordo, who competed in 1973, and Dulce Pontes, who competed in 1991; and future Eurovision participant Rita Guerra, who would represent her country in 2003). However, there were now four songs in each semi, and the top eight songs across all five semi-finals would compete in the final. The semi-finals were hosted by Júlio Isidro.[1]

    Final[edit]

    The final was held on 11 March 1993 at the São Luiz Theatre in Lisbon and was hosted by António Sala and Margarida Mercês de Medo. The winner was decided through the votes of 22 regional juries.[2]

    The winner was『A cidade (até ser dia),』sung by Anabela and written by Pedro Abrantes, former Eurovision entrant Paulo de Carvalho, and Marco Quelhas. The song was arranged by the song writer's brother Fernando Abrantes, who also performed it at the piano live on stage together with the singer Anabela during the Eurovision final in Ireland.

Portugal themselves awarded twelve points to France.
