One day after the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 on May 14, 2011, the DR announced its participation in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in Baku , Azerbaijan . Potential candidates submitted 678 entries by September 26, 2011.

As in previous years, ten artists and songs were announced on January 5, 2012. However, one of the finalists, Valen: tine with "Nowhere" had to be disqualified because the title was published prior to approval by the European Broadcasting Union, which meant a rule violation. There was no replacement for it, so only nine competitors entered the competition.

In the first round, the audience and a professional Danish jury selected the three best songs. The winner was then selected from among these by the audience, the Danish and an international jury (with jurors from Azerbaijan , Germany, Norway and Russia). In both rounds, 50% of the audience votes and the jury's verdict were included in the evaluation.

The composition of the international juries was published by DR on January 14, 2012.
