International jury has half the power

In the final, a total of 12 entries compete. Half the power has the viewers distributing their points through telephone and app voting. Voting opens at the same time as the broadcast starts, at 8pm on Saturday.

The second half of the power has an international jury, which this year consists of the countries Australia, Armenia, France, Iceland, Israel, Malta, the Netherlands and Austria.

Vote with the heart

In the Melodifestivalapp you can vote five times for each contribution free of charge. You vote by pressing a pounding heart, but to achieve five votes, a large number of presses on the display are required.

As in previous years, there are two telephone numbers per grant that you can choose from to vote for your favorite. A slightly more expensive number, which costs SEK 9.90 per call, to support Radio Aid, and a cheaper one, which costs SEK 3.60 per call.

You can call 20 times on the cheaper number, and 20 times on the Radio Aid number. All in all, it will be possible to vote a maximum of 40 times per subscription and TV broadcast.

Most men among the songwriters

This year, 79 songwriters participate, of whom 21 are women and 58 are men. Half are debutants and half have participated with at least one grant before. However, among the artists, the distribution between men and women is almost even. 17 women and 19 men participate.

A total of 2,545 entries were sent to this year's Melodifestival.

This year, 13 of all 36 artists are debutants. 23 artists have participated in the past.
