Danes living in the Faroe Islands and Greenland who are registered in the population register there are also eligable to submit an entry and participate in the show.
Each song cannot exceed three minutes in length, (as per the Eurovision rules set out by the European Broadcasting Union), and cannot have been released or performed in any way prior to September 1st, 2023.
Composers / lyricists / singers are allowed to submit as many entries as they want, and their songs can be in any language they chose; However, the lyrics must not contain political messages, profanity or any commerciual messages.
The latest winner of Dansk Melodi Grand Prix is Reiley, who is originally from the Faroe Islands. He brought “Breaking My Heart” to the Eurovision 2023 stage in Liverpool, but sadly didn’t manage to qualify to the final, finishing in 14th place.
The last time Denmark qualified for the final was in 2019, when Leonora achieved a left-side finish in 12th place with 120 points. Will 2024 be the year we see Denmark back in the Eurovision final?
