Norway was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1963 with the song "Solhverv", written by Dag Kristoffersen, and performed by Anita Thallaug. The Norwegian participating broadcaster, Norsk rikskringkasting (NRK), organised the national final Melodi Grand Prix 1963 in order to select its entry for the contest.
Thallaug had not originally performed "Solhverv" at the Melodi Grand Prix, but NRK asked her to become its representative when the winning performer, Nora Brockstedt, pulled out of a third Eurovision appearance, citing a scheduling conflict with other previously-arranged engagements.
