TiBB Melodi Grand Prix 2023

The TiBB Melodi Grand Prix 2023 will be the 5th edition of the TiBB Melodi Grand Prix. The contest took place from 18 February 2023 until 25 March 2023. The shows were presented by Alexis Enero and Hella Joof. Unlike the previous edition, due to relegation, this edition did not choose Denmark's entry for the TiBB Music Festival.
==Format==
The competition consisted of 4 semi-finals, 1 second chance round, and 1 grand final. The top 2 songs in each semi would qualify to the final, whilst the 3rd and 4th place songs would go to the Second Chance round. The bottom three entries in each semi-final were eliminated. An additional four entries qualified for the final from the Second Chance round, bringing the total number of competing entries in the final to 12.
===Running order===
The final running order of the competing performances at the final was decided by Josiah; days or hours before the contest began.
===Voting format===
The voting system is the same as in March 2020: The public vote previously used a simple majority to decide the places, but concerns had been raised over a growing bias through the way votes were cast: that votes cast through the app were giving an unfair weight to younger voters, as older voters tended to cast theirs though the telephone vote. For 2019, TPB Three changed to a system of eight groups: those using the app voted within one of seven age groups, and telephone votes were in the eighth group.
These groups were weighted equally against each other: for the semi-finals, each group's vote would carry a score of 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, and 1 (12, 10, and 8-1 for the final); for the second chance round, each group gave one point to the most popular entry of each duel. The scores within each round were then added together to decide the places. In the final, to ensure equal weight was given to the public vote and the international jury vote, the number of countries remained unchanged from eight, like the previous edition.
