Sweden will participate in the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 and will select their entry throungh the national final Melodifestivalen 2011, organised by Icelandic broadcaster SVT (Sveriges Television).
Changes in Melodifestivalen 2011
The first change is that foreign composers are now invited to take part of the competition. They have to participate together with at least one Swedish composer but has previously been forbidden to take part at all. The pre-selection jury, that earlier years have chosen 28 of the competing 32 songs will now only choose 15. SVT has in addition to these 15 the right to specially invite and select 15 songs and acts as wild cards against previous years' only 4.
Last year's web wildcard competition on SVT's home page was a huge success according to SVT and therefore 2 acts instead of one will be chosen this way in the 2011 contest, thus completing the 32 acts. There are no known changes in the format of 4 qualifying semifinals, 1 Second Chance Contest and a big final in the Ericsson Globe Arena. Neither have any changes regarding the voting system been announced.
At Eurovision
Sweden will compete in one of the two semi-finals of the contest, on 10 or 12 May.
