Eleven entries competed in a show that took place on 14 March 2015 and the winner was determined over two rounds of public televoting.

In the second round of public televoting, "A Monster Like Me" performed by Mørland and Debrah Scarlett was selected as the winner with 88,869 votes.

Performing during the show in position 6, "A Monster Like Me" was announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 23 May.

Following the introduction of semi-finals in 2004, Norway has finished in the top ten five times, including their 2014 entry "Silent Storm" performed by Carl Espen.

[2] The broadcaster has traditionally organised the national final Melodi Grand Prix, which has selected the Norwegian entry for the Eurovision Song Contest in all but one of their participation.

In addition to the public call for submissions, NRK reserved the right to directly invite certain artists and composers to compete.

[10] The competing acts and songs were revealed on 21 January 2015 during a press conference at NRK studios, presented by Kåre Magnus Bergh and broadcast via NRK1 and online at mgp.no.

In the Gold Final, the results of the public televote were revealed by Norway's five regions and led to the victory of "A Monster Like Me" performed by Mørland and Debrah Scarlett with 88,869 votes.

[10] Mørland and Debrah Scarlett made several appearances across Europe to specifically promote "A Monster Like Me" as the Norwegian Eurovision entry.

On 18 April, Mørland and Debrah Scarlett performed during the Eurovision in Concert event which was held at the Melkweg venue in Amsterdam, Netherlands and hosted by Cornald Maas and Edsilia Rombley.

[24] The Norwegian performance featured Mørland and Debrah Scarlett performing on stage in costumes designed by Elisabeth Stray Pedersen: Mørland appeared in a white and black suit and Scarlett appeared in a white crop top and skirt with an ornate silver hair clip.

The choreographer of the Norwegian performance, Mattias Carlsson, stated: "all the focus should be on the song and the artists, so we don't think we need any graphics".

[25][26] Mørland and Debrah Scarlett were also joined by four off-stage backing vocalists: Julie Lillehaug Kaasa, May Kristin Kaspersen, Håvard Gryting and Bjørnar Reime.

[27] At the end of the show, Norway was announced as having finished in the top ten and subsequently qualifying for the grand final.

The jury consisted of five music industry professionals who were citizens of the country they represent, with their names published before the contest to ensure transparency.

This jury was asked to judge each contestant based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act.
