The MGP Nordic 2007 song competition for children was held in Oslo, Norway, on 24 November 2007. It was the third time a Nordic Melodi Grand Prix competition was held. Participating countries were Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland. 2007 also marked the first time that Finland participated. The debuting country was represented by Yle Fem, the Swedish-speaking division of Yle. As a result, Finland's songs were sung in Swedish rather than Finnish.
Organization
One song from each country will win a place in the 'super final', whereupon a winner will be announced. Winners were determined only by televoting. Each country has a total of 10,000 points to give to others, and these points are distributed according to the percentage each country gets votes.
