Only artists that had not performed in a concert in Russia since 2014 and entered the territory of Crimea were able to apply for the competition.[8] A selection panel including the music producer of the show Mykhailo Koshevy and the television producer of the show Oleksiy Honcharenko reviewed the 284 received submissions, and twenty-seven entries that had been longlisted were announced on 17 January 2022.[9][10] Auditions were later held at the My Dream Space venue in Kyiv where eight entries were shortlisted to compete in the national final.[10] On 24 January 2022, the eight selected competing acts were announced.[11] On the final, held on 12 February 2022, Pash resulted as the winner, but she ultimately declined her position after being involved in a controversy for having breached the rule barring Vidbir competitors from having traveled to Russia or Crimea.[2] The document of proof of how she entered the region via Ukrainian territory was according to the UA:PBC a falsified certificate.[12] On 16 February 2022 UA:PBC, stated it had decided to "cease her participation" and that "the artist agreed with this decision of the organizing committee".[12]
