Norwegian songs released after September 1 this autumn may compete. This means that Norway also includes music that has already reached the audience.
"The purpose is to open a bigger window for more good songs and artists," NRK writes. The songs selected for the Norwegian line-up will not be made public until January 2024, according to NRK. The new arrangement will give fans the opportunity to exert pressure on both artists and organizers for certain songs to be included in Melodifestivalen 2024.
