The edition was announced along with the confirmation of the country's participation in the contest. The format was kept the same as the last editions and only one final was held with ten acts – ten Danish acts among them one returning act. The foreign act was not included for the first time since the 4th edition. The edition started in late July 2014.

The selection consisted of only one final and was held in Jyske Bank Boxen, Herning. The voters were international juries divided into six groups. The competing entries were chosen by the broadcaster after several artists submitted songs. As the foreign act was removed from this edition, artists from neighbor countries could not apply. However, the returning act was introduced which allowed past participants of the selection and the contest to apply. Only ten songs were selected including the one song by the returning act.
