Denmark: DR reveals the names of DMGP 2015 jury members

This morning, Danish broadcaster DR revealed the names of the people who will decide 50% of the voting at Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2015 on Saturday, namely the jury.

This year, there will be one round of voting as opposed to the previous years. Each of the five Danish regions will have their own jury, who will give out 1-8, 10, and 12 points, and those votes will be combined with those of the tele voters, who will have 290 points in total, which will be given out based on how many percent of the votes, each song will get, e.g. if a song gets 50% of the votes, it will get 145 of the tele voting points.

• The Capital region:
