The Norwegian broadcaster NRK have announced that they have opened submissions for Melodi Grand Prix 2022. Composers, music producers and songwriters are all invited to submit their songs to the broadcaster, and they have until August 15th, 2021.
There are rules and regulations that all submissions must adhere to:

Commenting on NRK’s opening of submissions for Melodi Grand Prix 2022, Norway’s Head of Delegation, Stig Karlsen, has said: “The invitation is open to anyone who writes songs. This is a unique chance to try and grab a place in the world’s biggest music competition. We are open to all kinds of music within a broad understanding of the pop genre. It can be anything from sophisticated beautiful pop songs, to bone hard rock, bubblegum pop, and everything in between.”
