Melodi Grand Prix 2006 (shortened MGP 2006) is the television show in which the Norwegian entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 was chosen.
The contest was held on February 4 in the Oslo Spektrum and was hosted by Synnøve Svabø and Stian Barsnes Simonsen.
However, the foreign songs exceed 60% of this total, coming mainly from Swedish composers.
And as a result, 13 out of the 18 semi final entries are written by Swedes and two of them by Danes.
The three initial semi finals were held in three different Norwegian cities, based on the successful formula that has been used in the Swedish Melodifestivalen since 2002.
