Before Eurovision

Melodi Grand Prix 1986

The Norwegian national final to select their entry, the Melodi Grand Prix 1986, was held on 22 March 1986 at the Stavanger Forum convention center in Stavanger, hosted by actor Jarl Goli. The Band was conducted by Fred Nøddelund.

Ten songs competed with the winner being decided by four regional juries (Oslo, Lillehammer, Trondheim and Vadsø), a press jury composed of newspaper, radio and television journalists, the inhabitants of the Statfjord A oil rig in the North Sea and the studio audience in Stavanger.

The winning entry was "Romeo", composed and performed by Ketil Stokkan.
