Denmark in the Eurovision Song Contest 2006

Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2006 was the 36th edition of Dansk Melodi Grand Prix, the music competition that selects Denmark's entries for the Eurovision Song Contest. The event was held on 11 February 2006 at the Gigantium in Aalborg, hosted by Adam Duvå Hall and Mads Vangsø.

Ten songs competed in one show where the winner was determined over two rounds of voting. In the first round, the top five songs based on the results of a public vote qualified to the second round. In the second round, the winner was determined by regional televoting. The results of the public vote were revealed by Denmark's four regions, with the voting figures of each region being converted to points. Viewers were able to vote via telephone or SMS.

DR opened a submission period until 10 October 2005 for artists and composers to submit their entries. The broadcaster received 336 entries during the submission period. A selection committee selected ten songs from the entries submitted to the broadcaster.[1] The competing artists and songs were officially presented on 8 December 2005.[2]

The final took place on 11 February 2006. The running order was determined by DR and announced on 6 January 2006. In the first round of voting the top five advanced to the second round based on the results of a public vote: "En som dig" performed by Søren Poppe and Lene Matthiesen, "Je ne regrette rien" performed by Neighbours, "Twist of Love" performed by Sidsel Ben Semmane, "Åh amore" performed by Kim Schwartz, and "2 in 1" performed by Danni Elmo.
