In a change from previous years, qualifiers from the semi-finals were chosen via 100% public voting. The winner of the final was determined by 50% international jury and 50% public voting. This is the first time an international jury has been used at Söngvakeppnin.
This year three songs from each semi-final competed in the final, comprising of six songs instead of five with no wildcard being awarded. In the previous format, two songs were selected from each semi-final via public vote and a fifth was chosen by the jury to compete in the final.
Another change was the absence of a super-final round in the final.
