Melodi Grand Prix 2024
2024 is set to be the 62nd edition of  (MGP), the annual Norwegian music competition that serves as the country's preselection for the Eurovision Song Contest. It will be organised by Norway's public broadcaster NRK, and take place early in 2024. The winner will represent Norway in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö, Sweden.

Format 
The competition will be organised by NRK in the winter of 2024. In recent years, Melodi Grand Prix has consisted of several semi-finals before a grand final. It is not known if NRK will continue this concept in 2024. The competition is set to be broadcast on NRK1 and NRK TV.

Competing entries 
On 9 June 2023, four weeks after the Eurovision Song Contest 2023, NRK officially opened for songwriters to submit entries for Melodi Grand Prix 2024 until 31 August 2023.

For the first time, the songs are allowed to be published as early as 1 September 2023, in line with EBU's existing rules for the Eurovision Song Contest. Previously, all submitted entries had to be held secret until NRK decided to release them. According to the broadcaster, the aim of the rule change is to create a better "opportunity for more good songs and artists for MGP".

The competition is open to all songwriters, and each songwriter could submit up to three songs. Each song should have at least one Norwegian contributor, in order to "prioritise and promote the Norwegian music scene". In addition to the open submission, NRK will also look for possible entries through targeted search and direct dialogue with the Norwegian music industry, and through songwriting camps.

The final list of selected entries is set to be announced in January 2024.
