The Danish Final was held on February 17th at the Herning Conference Centre, hosted by Keld Heick. Each song was introduced by a previous winner of the Danish Final - The Olsen Brothers, Anders Frandsen, Kølig Kaj, Christian Have, Gry Johansen, Birthe Kjaer, Lotte Feder, Bjorn Tidmand, Anne Herdorf and Michael Teschl & Trine Jepsen. The winning song was chosen by televoting (80%) and an "expert" jury (20%) in two rounds of voting - firstly to select the best 5 songs, and then to select the winner. The "expert" jury included Birthe Wilke who represented Denmark in 1957 and 1959.
