Fantasifestivalen 06 was the sixth edition of the Swedish music competition that selected Sweden's entry for the North Vision Song Contest 6. After the previous edition was interrupted due to scheduling reasons, it was continued as the official sixth edition of the competition Fantasifestivalen. Marie Serneholt has emerged as the winner with her song "That's the Way My Heart Goes".

With the previous edition taken into account, the format of the competition consisted of six shows: four semi-final rounds, a second chance round and a final. The 36 competing entries were divided into their four semi-finals, one per edition, with nine compositions in each.

Semi-finals[]

Fantasifestivalen commenced with four semi-finals, which determined the eight entries that advance directly to the final and the eight entries that qualify to the Second Chance round.

The semi-final results are based solely on viewer votes. Two rounds of voting take place in each semi-final to determine which entries would advance further and which entries would be eliminated. All eight competing entries in each semi-final participate in the first round of voting where the top five advances to the second round, while the bottom three are eliminated. In the second round of voting, the two entries that occupy the first and second places qualify directly to the final, while the third and fourth placed entries proceed to the Second Chance round. The fifth placed entry is eliminated. All votes from the second round of voting are added to the votes that each entry received from the first round of voting in order to determine the final outcome.
