Malta selected its entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 on February 2010 in the The GO Malta EuroSong 2010 competition, organised by the Public Broadcasting Services
(PBS), the Maltese broadcaster. At the final of the contest held on 20 February Thea Garrett

".
was selected by the GO Malta Eurosong 2010 contest. 36 songs were selected in an open call for songs by PBS, which could be submitted until 30 October. In a change from previous years only Maltese nationals could submit songs to the selection process - this change however caused some criticism, especially from Grace Borg, former chairwoman of the Maltese Eurovision selection. It has been announced that songwriters can enter more than one composition, however artists may only perform one song.
36 artists were chosen to compete in six semi-finals, held between 9 December and 13 January. The votes of a professional jury and televoting selected twenty songs to progress to the final of the contest, held on 20 February 2010. The winner again selected by both jury and televoting, with each getting a 50% say in the final result. The semi-finals were incoparated into the new talent show L-Isfida (The Challenge).
In November it was announced that plans for the competition were paralysed by legal disputes between PBS and Grace Borg. Despite this the Maltese Head of Delegation, Joe Dimech, has denied that the whole national selection process was in danger, and that PBS were consulting legal advice. New dates for the national selection were to be made after missing their planned start date of 9 November for the first stage of the contest. On 18 November a Maltese court ruled in favour of PBS, in that they could prohibit foreign composers from competing in the GO Malta EuroSong 2010, finally allowing the Maltese selection process to continue.
On 19 November PBS revealed details on their selection process: 123 entries were received by PBS for the contest, considerably less than last year's total due to PBS rules allowing only one song per singer and allowing only Maltese songwriters to submit entries. From 2 to 4 December an international jury selected 36 songs from the submitted entries, and three days later the qualifiers performed in front of a different jury.
