The first phase was held behind closed doors on 2, 3, and 4 December 2009. The 36 selected songs were then presented to another jury and a public vote on the popular TVM programme Sfida (which is the Maltese word for Challenge) broadcast weekly on Wednesdays between 9 December 2009 into 13 January 2010, in batches of six each week.
