The National Eurovision Final became a landmark musical event of 2026, marking Moldova's return to the international contest after a one-year hiatus. For the first time in history, the show was moved from television studios to the country's largest indoor venue — Arena Chișinău. This decision allowed organizers to fundamentally change the selection format, transforming it into a spectacular arena show where audiences could experience the final live, support their favorites and become part of a large-scale television production with live sound and modern production values.
The Media Show Grup team prepared and executed the project in extremely tight deadlines — just two weeks. Working closely with organizers and venue management, we were responsible for concept development, 3D design and assembly of complex stage structures including technical zones, Green Room and visual space design. Our responsibilities included comprehensive artist and host coordination, logistics, technical performance support, graphic content creation and live broadcast direction. One of the most complex tasks was coordinating all departments during the live broadcast: through thorough rehearsals and precise management, backline and set changes for 16 artists were executed in minimal intervals, seamlessly invisible to live broadcast viewers.
We delivered a high-tech show meeting European broadcasting standards where every element worked like clockwork. The high production standard ensured a flawless on-air picture, which was specifically noted by international experts. The success of the 2026 final elevated the national selection to a new level, demonstrating Media Show Grup's readiness for the most complex projects and European-level format management.
