RTÉ opened a submission period for composers to submit songs between 6 November 1968 and 1 January 1969. Composers had be Irish-born or live in Ireland and could only submit a maximum of two songs each.[2] RTÉ received 560 submissions and selected 8 songs from the received submissions and then assigned artists to those songs.[3][4]
