“The Woods” will host the first songwriting camp which will start modeling the first demo songs and ideas that may end up competing on the stage of Melodi Grand Prix. Songwriting camps are significant events. They are aimed to connect artists and composers and kickstart the creative process to get the best candidates for the Eurovision Song Contest. The songwriting camp will take place in Rennes, Norway. Furthermore, some of the songs created there may compete in MGP 2025 and even in Eurovision 2025.

The writing camp will start on April 5, 2024, and will last approximately two days. The organizers promise that all songs will be considered for the Melodi Grand Prix 2025 selection. In addition to this, the head of the Norwegian delegation to Eurovision, Stig Carlsen will also be present.

The writing camp in Norway is one of the many songwriting events that take place in Europe every year, where many creators gather and write songs, many of which end up competing in the Eurovision Song Contest.

The final of the 2024 Melodi Grand Prix will be held on Saturday, at 19:50 CET. A combined vote of the public (60%) and an international jury (40%) will decide who will represent Norway at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 held in Malmö, Sweden.

According to the Israeli Eurovision news website Euromix, the song with which Noa Kirel will represent Israel at Eurovision 2023 is set to be created at a Songwriting Camp.

For the first time, Israel is expected to organize a “Songwriting Camp”, a format previously used by countries such as Sweden, Norway and Bulgaria, where composers and songwriters will have the opportunity to work together to create possible entries for the Israeli participation.

The organization of the “camp” seems to have been undertaken by the managers of Noa Kirel, who have already invited songwriters who have collaborated with Noa in the past. Among the names rumored to take part are Doron Medalie (Israel 2015, 2016, 2018), Ron Beaton, Jordi, Nitzan Kaykov, Itay Shimoni and Eitan Peled, while Noa Kirel herself is set to be actively involved in the creative process.

Noa Kirel was selected by a ten-member panel of experts that included professionals from the fields of culture, music and television. The committee members considered 78 male and female singers, assessing their experience in performing live in front of a big audience, as well as their popularity in the domestic music market.

In Eurovision 2022, Michael Ben David represented Israel and did not advance to the Grand Final, taking the 13th place in the 2nd Semi Final with 61 points.
