146 songs have been submitted to Icelandic broadcaster RV for the 2008 national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest. Saturday, 6th October, the first semi final of Laugardagslgin was held making Iceland the first country to kick off its televised national selection for 2008.
From the 146 songs submitted, RV chose six for the semi finals. Furthermore, nine composers have been asked to compose three songs each rising the number of competing entries to 33. These 33 songs were presented in eleven heats.
In each of the eleven semi finals, three songs were presented and the favourite was chosen by televoting to reach the final. There was another voting between the second and third placed songs, and from the eleven winners, three songs were internally chosen for the second chance round.
The twelve remaining songs were split into four semi finals, and the top two songs chosen by televoting would reach the national final.
Although the winners will be chosen by televoting, there is also a jury that comments on the songs. One of the jury members will be Selma who represented Iceland twice in the Eurovision Song Contest: in 1999, she achieved second place (Iceland's best result so far) with All out of luck; in 2005 she didn't manage to qualify through the semi final with If I had your love.
