The SF selection involved an online internet voting platform where interested artists could submit their songs and have them listed for public listening. The platform began accepting entries on 1 September 2012 and concluded on 8 October 2012. 175 entries were submitted following the submission deadline, including entries from 1956, 1957 and 1958 Eurovision winner Lys Assia, 1983 and 1985 Swiss entrant Mariella Farré, 1996, 2002 and 2005 Cypriot entrant Constantinos Christoforou, 2009 Dutch entrant as part of De Toppers Gordon Heuckeroth (from the group ) and 2011 Polish entrant Magdalena Tul. Internet users had between 15 and 29 October 2012 to vote for their favourite entries. The internet votes were combined with the votes from an expert jury and on 12 November 2012, the top four entries were announced. The four candidates ultimately selected from the SF selection for the national final were "Do the Monkey" performed by Anthony Bighead, "You and Me" performed by Heilsarmee, "The Point of No Return" performed by Melissa and "Forever &amp; a Day" performed by Jesse Ritch.
