Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Eurovision Song Contest 2003

BH Eurosong 2003 was the national final organised by PBSBiH in order to select Bosnia and Herzegovina's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2003. The show took place on 1 March 2003 at the Skenderija Hall in Sarajevo, hosted by Ana Vilenica, Enis Bešlagić and Ognjen Blagojević and broadcast on BHTV 1 as well as streamed online via the broadcaster's website pbsbih.ba.

75 submissions were received by PBSBiH after the broadcaster opened the submission period for artists and composers to submit their entries. A selection committee selected fifteen entries from the received submissions, while an additional three entries were selected from submissions by artists directly invited by PBSBiH for the competition.[1] The selected entries were announced on 31 January 2003 and among the competing artists, Amila Glamočak previously represented Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Eurovision Song Contest 1996, placing twenty-second with the song "Za našu ljubav".[2]

The final took place on 1 March 2003. Eighteen entries participated and the winner was to be selected over two rounds of public televoting, however due to a large number of votes received the televoting system failed and an eight-member back-up jury panel selected the winner over two rounds instead.[3] In the first round, the top four entries were selected to proceed to the second round, the superfinal: "Mac sa oštrice dvije" performed by Amila Glamočak, "Ne brini" performed by Mija Martina, "Srce ne pita" performed by Igor Vukojević and "Taxi" performed by Deen. In the superfinal, "Ne brini" performed by Mija Martina was selected as the winner.[4] The back-up jury panel consisted of Ivica Šarić (Ministry of Culture and Sports of Sarajevo), Miša Molk (Head of Delegation for Slovenia at the Eurovision Song Contest), Alma Čardžić (1994 and 1997 Bosnian Eurovision entrant), Goran Janković (artist), Sabahudin Kurt (1964 Yugoslav Eurovision entrant), Dragan Džidić (Melodije Mostara director), Maja Tatić (2002 Bosnian Eurovision entrant) and Nermin Puškar (musician). In addition to the performances of the competing entries, the show featured a guest performance by 1999 Bosnian Eurovision entrant Dino Merlin.[5]
