Iceland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2008

Iceland was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 with the song "This Is My Life", written by Örlygur Smári, Paul Oscar, and Peter Fenner, and performed by the duo Euroband. The Icelandic participating broadcaster, Ríkisútvarpið (RÚV), selected its entry through Söngvakeppni Sjónvarpsins 2008. The selection consisted of eleven heats, a Second Chance round, four semi-finals and a final, held between 6 October 2007 and 23 February 2008. Eight songs ultimately competed in the final, where "This Is My Life" performed by Eurobandið emerged as the winner exclusively through public televoting. The duo was renamed as Euroband for the Eurovision Song Contest. Songwriter Paul Oscar represented Iceland in 1997 with the song "Minn hinsti dans" where he placed twentieth in the competition.

It was later revealed that the Iceland placed eighth out of the 19 participating countries in the semi-final with 68 points.
