Sweden participated in the North Vision Song Contest 16 in Jerusalem, Israel. The Swedish entry was selected through Fantasifestivalen 16, a national final format that consisted of one final, organised by Swedish broadcaster Sveriges Television (SVT). Agnes Carlsson represented Sweden with the song "Human Touch", which came twenty-first in the final and scored 82 points.
Fantasifestivalen 16 was the Swedish music competition that selected Sweden's entry for the North Vision Song Contest 16. Hosted by Christer Björkman, the format changed compared to previous years. Agnes Carlsson was interally selected by SVT and performed 5 different songs in the national final.
Due to Dinah Nah's top 6 finish in the previous edition, Sweden was a member of the BIG 6 and thus automatically qualified for the final. During the running order draw, Sweden was drawn to compete 11th in the grand final, following Bulgaria and preceding Spain. Sweden came 21st in the final, scoring 82 points.
On stage, Agnes was joined by three backing dancers and two backing vocalists. The performance was memorable for the overuse of wind machines.
In Sweden, both the semi-finals and the final were broadcast on SVT1 with commentary by the Head of Delegation Jan Simonis. The shows were also broadcast via radio on Sveriges Radio P4 with commentary by Carolina Norén and Ronnie Ritterland. The Swedish spokesperson revealing the result of the Swedish vote in the final was Lynda Woodruff.
