## National Selections

*Main Articles: Make Music Great Again, Road to PANAM and Superstars & Stripes*

The United States currently holds a national selection to decide their entry for the **Eurovision Americas Song Contest,** and used to hold a selection for the now defunct **Eurovision Asia-Pacific Song Contest**.

**Make Music Great Again**, or MMGA for short, decided the United States entry for the 2nd to 10th editions of the PANAM Song Contest. For the first few editions, it was held internally, meaning that the actual entry was decided by the members of the US delegation. However, it has taken leaps and bounds to become an actual national selection, with 12 acts taking part in the main show, 8 decided by the delegation, 3 via open submissions from other users, and 1 from a 4 song pre-selection entitled *Make Music Great Again: Independence* (Now *One Out of Many*). Winners include Lizzo, Plastique Tiara, Sofi Tukker and Kim Petras.

**Road to PANAM** is the selection currently slated to replace Make Music Great Again after the 10th edition of the contest. The format is currently unknown, but the final round will retain a 12 song structure like MMGA did.

**Superstars & Stripes**, or S&S for short, decided the United States entry for EAPSC. In it, all 50 states were each represented by a song from an American artist, whether or not the artist came from that state. The states were then separated into 4 heats based on their geographical region within the US, with 12 or 13 songs competing per heat. 3 acts from each heat advancde to a 13 song final, with the final one decided by a Second Chance round featuring the 4th place states from each heat. The winner of the final represented the United States at EAPSC, and the broadcasting network was decided by what heat the song belonged to. There was only one edition of S&S, won by Caroline Polachek representing Louisiana. A second edition was planned for the 3rd edition of EAPSC, but changed into an internal selection before the contest was ultimately cancelled.
