Ten songs were selected for the competition from the received submissions and performers of the selected songs were determined by SBS in consultation with the songwriters.
The chosen competing acts were announced in three sets: the first on 28 October 2021, the second on 26 November 2021, and the third on 14 December 2021.
Simultaneous to the final artist reveal, it was announced that an eleventh ‘wildcard artist’ would be selected through a TikTok contest.
