Denmark in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024

The results of both rounds were based on the 50/50 combination of votes from the public and a 20-member jury panel (a larger one than in previous editions), composed for the first time since 2012 of ten international members – from the five most recent winning countries, i.e. Sweden, Ukraine, Italy, the Netherlands and Israel – alongside ten Danish professionals.

Viewers were able to vote each song once per round via a new version of the mobile application introduced in the 2023 edition or, during the live show, via SMS.

By mid-January 2024, Gustav Lützhøft, head of culture, children and youth at DR, stated that the broadcaster would support Israel's participation,[22] leading to demonstrations outside the DR Koncerthuset during the announcement of DMGP contestants on 25 January, calling for the broadcaster or the eventual winning artist to boycott the contest.

[23] None of the entrants expressed their overt support for a boycott;[24] Ublu later stated their opposition to Israel's participation ahead of the show.

[25] While not mentioning Israel's participation in the contest, on 29 March 2024, Saba released a joint statement with other Eurovision 2024 entrants – namely Bambie Thug (Ireland), Gåte (Norway), Iolanda (Portugal), Megara (San Marino), Mustii (Belgium), Nemo (Switzerland), Olly Alexander (United Kingdom), Silvester Belt (Lithuania) and Windows95man (Finland) – calling for "an immediate and lasting ceasefire" in Gaza as well as the return of the Israeli hostages held by Hamas.

[30][31] In addition, as part of the Eurovision programming, DR and SVT collaborated with other EBU member broadcasters – namely ARD/WDR, the BBC, ČT, ERR, France Télévisions, NRK, NTR, RÚV, VRT and Yle – to produce and air a documentary titled ABBA – Against the Odds, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Sweden's first victory at the contest with "Waterloo" by ABBA.

[36] The Danish jury consisted of Jesper Groth, who represented Denmark at the 2021 contest as a member of the group Fyr og Flamme, Ihan Haydar, who represented Denmark at the 2022 contest as a member of the band Reddi, Vicky Leander, Las Thomsen, and Søren Torpegaard Lund.

Over the course of the contest, Denmark awarded its 12 points to Israel in the second semi-final, and to Switzerland (jury) and Croatia (televote) in the final.

[38][39] DR appointed Stéphanie Surrugue [da] as its spokesperson to announce the Danish jury's votes in the final.

Each participating broadcaster assembles a five-member jury panel consisting of music industry professionals who are citizens of the country they represent.
