Iceland would take part in the 1986 Eurovision Song Contest for the first time. Their first act should be chosen during a televised national final with ten songs competing. Four different singers took place: Plmi Gunnarsson, Eirkur Hauksson, Erna Gunnarsdttir and Bjrgvin Halldrsson. Each of them performed two songs solo and furthermore, Erna Gunnarsdttir & Bjrgvin Halldrsson and Erna Gunnarsdttir & Plmi Gunnarsson each performed one duet.
The winner was chosen by an expert jury and only the top5 were announced. Plmi Gunnarsson won with his entry Gleibankinn, which was also the first song of the evening.
