National final

Macedonian Radio-Television opened a song submission in late 2007 and closed prior to the new year. 130 songs were received, 15 of which were selected by a committee composed of officials and past Eurovision contestants. In addition, MRT commissioned six songs from well-known composers; however, these songs were withdrawn from the competition by internal decision.^[2] Skopje Fest took place at the Metropolis Arena where 15 songs competed for the honor of representing the country. The selection was broadcast on terrestrial and satellite television.^[3]
