Performing during the show in position 5, "We Are the Heroes" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final.

Eurofest 2012 was the national final format developed by BTRC to select the Belarusian entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2012.

In the first stage, artists and songwriters had the opportunity to apply for the competition by attending live auditions during designated dates.

The third stage was the final, which took place on 14 February 2012 where the 50/50 combination of votes from a public televote and an expert jury determined the winner that would represent Belarus in Baku out of the five acts.

Auditions were held at the Youth Variety Theater in Minsk where a jury panel was tasked with selecting fifteen entries to proceed to the televised national final.

A 50/50 combination of votes from jury members made up of music professionals and public televoting selected the top five songs to qualify to the final.

[10] The televised final took place on 14 February 2012 at the Sports Palace in Minsk, hosted by Denis Kurian and Leyla Ismailova.

Prior to the final, Gunesh opted to change her candidate song, while a draw for the running order took place on 24 January 2012.

During the performance, the guitarists of the band leaned back on their microphone stands into an almost horizontal position by hooking their feet into a strap on the floor, while Karyakin made use of the stage ramp by coming towards the audience.

The stage colours were predominantly blue and yellow with the LED screens displaying images of nuts, bolts, cogs and wheel parts.

This jury judged each entry based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act.

In addition, no member of a national jury was permitted to be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently.
