The competition was won by William Mangion with the song This Time . The competition was also known as the Festival tal-Kanzunetta Maltija għall-Ewropa 1993 .
principle

The songs were performed in Maltese on March 11th and in English on March 12th. Here the jury chose the 8 finalists with 100% of the votes, who entered on March 13th to represent Malta at the Eurovision Song Contest.
All songs were performed in both English and Maltese in the semi-finals and in the final , but the English version of the winning title was chosen to represent Malta in the Eurovision Song Contest.
