Melodifestivalen 1993 was the selection for the 33rd song to representSweden at theEurovision Song Contest. It was the 32nd time that this system of picking a song had been used. 1569 songs were submitted toSveriges Television (SVT) for the competition. The final was held in theLisebergshallen inGothenburg on 5 March 1993, presented byTriple & Touch and was broadcast onTV2 andSveriges Radio'sP4 network. The show was watched by 4,284,000 people, with a total of 166,045 votes cast.
The winner was selected over two rounds of voting. After the juries had selected 5 songs for a "super final", it was revealed that the TV viewers would choose the winner by regionaltelevoting. However, the voting became a bit repetitive, and televoting was not re-introduced untilsix years later when it was combined with regional juries.
