Slovenia made its debut to the Eurovision Song Contest in 1993, having previously competed as part of Yugoslavia. The Slovene broadcaster Radiotelevizija Slovenija (RTVSLO) held a national final to select the first independent Slovene entry for the Eurovision Song Contest.

EMA 1993, the national final, was held on 27 February 1993 at the RTVSLO TV studios in the Slovene capital of Ljubljana. The show was hosted by Tajda Lekše, and the winner was decided by the votes of 12 regional juries.

The winner of the contest was the 1X Band with the song "Tih deževen dan" (A quiet rainy day), and became the first independent Slovene Eurovision entry.

A=Ljubljana, B=Maribor, C=Koper, D=Murska Sobota, E=Celje, F=Trbovlje, G=Novo Mesto, H=Kranj, I=Slovenj Gradec, J=Brežice, K=Ptuj, L=Jesenice

Due to a major influx of countries wishing to enter the Eurovision Song Contest for the first time, due to the fall of communism, and the creation of new countries with the fall of the Soviet Union and disintegration of Yugoslavia, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) were forced to limit the number of countries allowed to enter the contest. As such, a one-off contest was held to reduce the number of interested countries to just three that would progress to the contest, held in Millstreet, Ireland.
