Eight songs consisting of the six semi-final qualifiers alongside two qualifiers from the Second Chance round competed during the final on 9 February 2008 at the Oslo Spektrum in Oslo. The winner was selected over two rounds of voting. In the first round, the top four entries were selected by public televoting to proceed to the second round, the Gold Final: "Am I Supposed to Love Again?" performed by Veronica Akselsen, "Far Away" performed by King of Trolls, "Eastern Wind" performed by Torstein Sødal and "Hold On Be Strong" performed by Maria Haukaas Storeng. In the Gold Final, three regional juries from the three semi-final host cities awarded 2,000, 4,000, 6,000 and 10,000 points to their top four songs. The results of the public televote were revealed by Norway's five regions and added to the jury scores, leading to the victory of "Hold On Be Strong" performed by Maria Haukaas Storeng with 195,661 votes. In addition to the performances of the competing entries, the interval act featured performances by 1978, 1982 and 1983 Norwegian Eurovision entrant Jahn Teigen, who performed several of his past "Melodi Grand Prix" entries: "Optimist", "Mil etter mil", "Do Re Mi" and "Glasnost".
