On 1 December 2011, MTV started the call for songs for their national selection. Entries could be submitted until 30 December 2011. The participants of the semi-finals were chosen by a pre-jury out of all entries that have been submitted. Hungarian and foreign composers were allowed to send entries. The names of the 20 acts and songs that were selected for the semi-finals were revealed on 10 January 2012.
In two semi-finals, to be broadcast live on m1 and Duna TV World, four songs each will qualify for the national final: three will be chosen by a professional jury and another one by televoting. In the final, televoting will select four super-finalists, and then the winner will be determined by the expert jury.
