The Melodi Grand Prix Nordic 2007 was the third Nordic Melodi Grand Prix, a Scandinavian song contest for children aged 8 to 15. The contest was held on November 24, 2007 in Oslo, Norway.
Participating countries were Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland. 2007 also marked the first time that Finland participated. The debuting country was represented by Yle Fem, the Swedish-speaking division of Yle. As a result, Finland's songs were sung in Swedish rather than Finnish.
Organization
[edit | edit source]One song from each country will win a place in the 'super final', whereupon a winner will be announced. Winners were determined only by televoting.
