National final

[edit]

The Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SRG SSR) hosted a national final to select its entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 1992, to be held in Malmö, Sweden. SRG SSR held the national final at the Palazzo dei Congressi in Lugano on 23 February 1992, hosted by Alessandra Marchese. 10 songs competed, with the winner decided through the votes of 3 regional juries, an expert jury and a press jury.

The winner of the contest was Géraldine Olivier with the song "Soleil, soleil". However after the contest the song was disqualified after it was revealed that the song was inputted into the French-speaking broadcaster, Télévision Suisse Romande (TSR), for their selection for the contest with French lyrics and was rejected, before being entered into the German-speaking broadcaster, Schweizer Fernsehen (SF DRS), and their selection for the contest with German lyrics and accepted. Therefore the song that came second, "Mister Music Man" by Daisy Auvray went to Malmö for Switzerland.
