Today, Latvian National Broadcaster LTV has revealed the names of the 15 songs and acts competing in 'Supernova 2024', the Latvian Eurovision national selection. This announcement was made on Latvian TV show 'Rīta Panorāma', broadcast on LTV1.

'Supernova 2024', whose final is scheduled for February 2024, received 108 song submissions this year.
