Denmark in the Eurovision Song Contest

Denmark was represented at the qualifying round for the Eurovision Song Contest 1996 with the song "Kun med dig", written by Jascha Richter and Keld Heick, and performed by Dorthe Andersen and Martin Loft. The Danish participating broadcaster, Danmarks Radio (DR), organised the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 1996 in order to select its entry for the contest. The entry failed to make it through the pre-selection round, meaning Denmark was not represented at the Eurovision Song Contest.

Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 1996

Danmarks Radio (DR) held the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 1996 on 9 March at TV-Byen in Gladsaxe, hosted by Hans Otto Bisgård. Five songs competed in the contest and the winner was selected solely by a public televote. The results of the public televote were revealed by Denmark's regions and "Kun med dig" was an overwhelming winner, receiving more votes than the other four songs combined.^[1]

At Eurovision

In 1996, for the only time in Eurovision history, an audio-only qualifying round (from which hosts Norway were exempt) was held on 20 March as 29 countries wished to participate in the final but the European Broadcasting Union had set a limit of 22 (plus Norway). The countries occupying the bottom seven places after the pre-qualifier would be unable to take part in the main contest.^[3] After the voting, "Kun med dig" had received 22 points, placing 25th and bringing Denmark's participation in 1996 to a premature end.^[4]^[5]^[6]
