The national selection show Mažųjų žvaigždžių ringas consisted of four semi-finals held between 6 and 27 September 2008 and a final held on 5 October 2008.

In the semi-finals, the songs first faced a public televote where the winner qualified. A three-member jury panel then selected an additional two qualifiers from the remaining entries to proceed to the final. Four wildcard finalists were also selected from each semi-final out of the remaining non-qualifying acts. In the final, the winner was determined by a 50/50 combination of votes from a five-member jury panel and public televoting.
