Denmark in EuroMusic Song Contest 1

Denmark participated in the first edition of the EuroMusic Song Contest. The EBU invited the Danish broadcaster, DR, to compete in this edition.

Selection process
For their first participation the Danish broadcaster, DR, decided to select their submission internally. For this edition, the EBU decided that the countries have to perform a song in their own national language. Because of this, they selected the Danish language song Dansevise to represend the country in Madrid.

At EuroMusic Song Contest
Denmark was drawn to perform twelfth, and last, following The United Kingdom.

Denmark became last with 11 points, were six points came from Sweden.

Voting
The voting during the final consisted of 50 percent public televoting and 50 percent from a jury deliberation. The jury consisted of five music industry professionals who were citizens of the country they represent. 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. In addition, no member of a national jury could be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently.

Below is a breakdown of points awarded to Denmark and awarded by Denmark in the final.
