This method had last been used by ORF in 1994.[6][7]

Format
Ten songs competed in the competition where the winner was selected by public voting and an internet jury panel consisting of 2,002 members selected via an online quiz. The jury results created an overall ranking from which points from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest) were distributed to the top five entries.

After the combination of all scores, the entry with the highest number of points was selected as the winner.[10][8]
Competing entries
Six artists were nominated by record companies, while an additional four acts was chosen through an open submission. For the open submission, ORF invited all interested artists to submit their songs to the broadcaster between 28 August 2001 and 30 November 2001.[11] The broadcaster received over 700 submissions at the close of the deadline, which were reviewed by a team of music professionals.[12] The ten artists selected to compete in the national final were revealed on 28 January 2002 at an ORF press conference that was hosted by Andi Knoll.[13]
