Iceland in the Eurovision Song Contest
◄2022 2023 2024►

Iceland participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 in Liverpool, United Kingdom, with "Power" performed by Diljá. The Icelandic broadcaster Ríkisútvarpið (RÚV) organised the national final Söngvakeppnin 2023 in order to select the Icelandic entry for the contest. The national final consisted of three shows: two semi-finals on 18 and 25 February 2023 and a final on 4 March 2023.

Iceland was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 11 May 2023. Performing during the show in position 7, "Power" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Iceland placed 11th out of the 16 participating countries in the semi-final with 44 points.
