Dansk Talented Artists For Lyon

Dansk Talented Artists For Lyon is the third edition of Dansk Talented Artists For..., the Danish preselection for the fifth edition of the World Eurovision Song Contest. It is organised by Danmarks Radio (DR) and took place over a six-day period between 17 September till 22 September 2018. The auditions took place from 8 September till 12 September 2018.

The Danish broadcaster, Danmarks Radio (DR), decided to change the format of their national selection. Since there submitted 33 songs they decided that a maximum of 10 songs is nonsense. Sweden is one of the best countries in the World Eurovision Song Contest and the DR was allowed to copy the system of their national selection Melodifestivalen.

The format of the competition consists of an auditions round with 33 songs, but only 28 songs can go through the 6 live shows: 4 semi-final rounds, a second chance round and a final. The 28 competing entries were divided into four semi-finals, with seven songs in each semi-final. From each semi-final, the songs that earn first and second place qualify directly to the final, while the songs that place third and fourth proceed to the Second Chance round. The bottom three songs in each semi-final will be eliminated from the competition. An additional four entries qualify from the Second Chance round to the final, bringing the total number of competing entries in the final to 12. All of the 6 liveshows will be hosted by last winner Aura Dione.
