The Melodije Istre i Kvarnera 2022 was the 52nd edition of the annual Melodije Istre i Kvarnera, a song contest held annually in multiple towns in the Primorje-Gorski Kotar county of Croatia. The show was held between 22 and 25 June 2022, and presented by Robert Ferlin, Mario Battifiaca and Uršula Tolj. Andrej Bašaserved as the artistic director for the competition.
The 2022 edition of the Melodije Istre i Kvarnera festival had three host cities/munincipalities; Kastav, Malinska and Rijeka. The three host cities held four nights with Rijeka hosting the last two shows with the grand final. The artistic director for the competition was Andrej Baša.[1]
Each of the ticket holders for the live shows received a voting ballot where they could cast their votes for the main public's award. Each night, after all performances, the top three placed songs of the current show were revealed with the general ranking winner being announced on the last night in Rijeka.[2]
On 7 April 2022, all competing entries and host cities were revealed. The main show consisted of 19 competing entries, all of them were sung in Croatian (mainly in the Chakavian dialect).[1]
