Ten songs competed during the final on 11 March 2017. The winner was selected over two rounds of voting. In the first round, the top four entries were selected by a 50/50 combination of votes from ten international juries and a public televote to proceed to the second round, the Gold Final. The viewers and the juries each had a total of 580 points to award. Each jury group distributed their points as follows: 1–8, 10 and 12 points, and only the 12 points of each jury were announced during the show. The viewer vote was based on the percentage of votes each song achieved. For example, if a song gained 10% of the viewer vote, then that entry would be awarded 10% of 580 points rounded to the nearest integer: 58 points. In the Gold Final, public televoting solely selected "Grab the Moment" performed by Jowst as the winner with 46,064 votes. In addition to the performances of the competing entries, the show was opened with Reidun Sæther and Staysman performing the song "Syng for Norge, Sing for Europe", while the interval act featured two-time Irish Eurovision winner Johnny Logan performing his 1987 entry "Hold Me Now" and 2016 Norwegian Eurovision entrant Agnete performing her entry "Icebreaker".
