NFOS 9

Nordic Festival of Song 9
Nordic Festival of Song 9, often referred to as NFOS 9, will be the 9th edition of the song contest. It will be held in Oslo, Norway. The country hosted the contest for the fourth time, after Sigrid won the contest last edition with "Strangers". 23 countries participated in Oslo.

Format
Edition 9 of the Nordic Festival of Song was the first to use a split system of televote and jury vote points. Instead of using sole jury points, as previous editions had done, edition 9 would have all voting nations award a televote result along with their jury points to give each nation their overall score. This therefore doubled the amount of points on offer at the contest.

Semi-final 2
Norway and FYR Macedonia will also vote in this semi-final.

Grand Final
All qualifiers will compete in the Final. All 23 nations vote.
