Before Eurovision

"Eurovizijos" dainų konkurso nacionalinė atranka

The final took place on 14 February 2002 at the Palace of Sports and Culture in Vilnius. The winner was determined by the combination of votes from a jury panel (50%), public televoting (25%) and the audience in the hall (25%). Only the top 10 placings (and some of the corresponding points) were announced.

At the end of March 2002, B'Avarija were disqualified because the Lithuanian version of their song - "Mes čia" was released on CD at the end of 2001. Consequently, Aivaras was declared the winner.[1]
