Melodi Grand Prix 2023

This year, the Norwegian national final, Melodi Grand Prix, celebrates its 63rd anniversary.

Like the previous three editions, the show will consist of six shows – five semifinals and a final. In every semifinal, four songs will duel, the winner of each will qualify for the final. In addition to that five songs – one from each semi – six songs will be pre-qualified. A jury will select these six entries. There will also be a second chance. The Norwegian public will decide through internet voting one last entry that will qualify for the final out of the 15 entries that haven’t already qualified. Thus a 12 artists’ final.

The premier of the next MGP will take place on January 14!
