Sweden will participate in the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 and will select their entry through the national final Melodifestivalen 2011, organised by Swedish broadcaster Sveriges Television (SVT).
Melodifestivalen 2011
The Swedish entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 will be selected through Melodifestivalen contest, the 50th edition of the contest. SVT has announced new rules and changes to the Melodifestivalen 2010 rules.
The format for the contest will remain the same from last year's, the same format that was introduced in 2002. 32 songs will be presented over 4 semi-finals. A public televote will be held to select two songs to progress directly to the final, with the 3rd and 4th placed songs progressing to a Second Chance (Andra Chansen) round. The eight songs in the Second Chance round will battle in duels until two songs are left, which also progress to the final. In the final, the votes of the public will constitute 50% of the total vote, with the remaining 50% coming from 11 juries - 6 international, and 5 Swedish.
There has been a large change in the way that the 32 songs will be selected. In 2010, 27 songs were selected by a selection panel. 4 songs were then selected by SVT in order to diversify the musical quality of the contest. One song was then selected through a "Web wildcard" competition, with members of the public allowed to submit songs onto the SVT website, with the public selecting one song through SMS voting.
For 2011, this will be changed. Only 15 songs will now be selected by the selection panel. 15 songs will then be selected by SVT, from remaining submissions made to the selection panel, or from specially invited artists and songs. The web wildcard competition will now be extended so that two songs will be selected by the public.
The voting of the two web jokers will begin on 11 October. The five best will qualify for a live show where viewers will pick the two lucky ones. The web joker live show will be broadcast on the 8th of November on SVT24.
Other changes introduced to Melodifestivalen 2011 have been revealed by SVT. For the first time, non-Swedish songwriters will be able to enter songs into the contest, as long as there is at least one Swedish songwriter also contributing. Artists will now be able to perform a single instrument live during the TV broadcast.
On 22 September, SVT announced that a record number of 3852 entries have been submitted. 424 of them will go to the web joker selection.
