Ukulwela izihloko zonyaka ka-2026, izixeko kufuneka zibonise iindlela zazo zokhenketho ezintsha kwaye zingenise izicelo zazo ngeqonga le-intanethi. Ekuqaleni, iphaneli yeengcali ezizimeleyo ziya kuvavanya izicelo. Emva koko, izixeko ezifakwe kuluhlu olufutshane ziya kumenywa ukuba zenze izindululo zazo kwiJury yaseYurophu.
