At a press conference in Oslo on 27 May 2009, it was announced that the show was to be held in the Oslo metropolitan area. NRK argued that Oslo was the only city with the required capacity, venues, and infrastructure to hold the show. On 3 July 2009, it was decided that the venue would be the newly constructed Telenor Arena, in the municipality of Bærum neighbouring Oslo.{{cite web|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=3393&_t=Breaking+news%3A+Fornebu+Arena+to+host+Oslo+2010|title=Breaking news: Fornebu Arena to host Oslo 2010|last=Bakker|first=Sietse|date=2009-07-03|publisher=EBU|access-date=2009-07-03|archive-date=2013-12-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131225145144/http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=3393&_t=Breaking+news%3A+Fornebu+Arena+to+host+Oslo+2010|url-status=live}} The Oslo Spektrum (host venue in {{Escyr|1996}}) was ruled out to host the contest due to its smaller size and capacity,{{cite web|url=http://www.esctoday.com/news/read/14182 |title=Telenor Arena to host Eurovision 2010 |first=Gil |last=Laufer |date=2009-07-03 |publisher=ESCToday |access-date=2009-07-03 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100131050935/http://esctoday.com/news/read/14182 |archive-date=2010-01-31 }} as was Vallhall Arena in Oslo and the Vikingskipet in Hamar. NRK had decided they wanted to take the contest back to the basics and after the contest in 2009, where LEDs were widely used, they used none. The 2010 was also produced on a considerably lower budget than the year before.{{cite news |last1=Swash |first1=Rosie |title=Eurovision bubble goes pop as nations quit due to financial differences |url=https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2010/may/27/eurovision-song-contest-recession |access-date=11 February 2022 |work=The Guardian |date=27 May 2010 |language=en |archive-date=11 February 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220211005558/https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2010/may/27/eurovision-song-contest-recession |url-status=live }}

The Lithuanian National Radio and Television (LRT) initially announced its non-participation after failing to achieve the necessary funds of 300,000 litas (€90,000) for participation.{{cite web|url=http://www.esctoday.com/news/read/14630 |title=Lithuania seeking funding for Eurovision 2010 |last=Hondal |first=Victor |date=2009-12-15 |publisher=ESCToday |access-date=2009-12-15 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091217234754/http://www.esctoday.com/news/read/14630 |archive-date=2009-12-17 }} The EBU later confirmed that {{esccnty|Lithuania|y=2010}} would indeed participate in Oslo.

Several of the performing artists had previously represented the same country in past editions. Niamh Kavanagh had won the contest for {{esccnty|Ireland|y=1993|t=Ireland in 1993}}. Hera Björk had provided backing vocals for {{esccnty|Iceland|y=2008|t=Iceland in 2008}} and {{esccnty|Iceland|y=2009|t=in 2009}}. Kristján Gíslason, backing singer for Hera Björk, had represented {{esccnty|Iceland|y=2001|t=Iceland in 2001}} as member of Two Tricky. In addition, Feminnem representing Croatia, had represented {{esccnty|Bosnia and Herzegovina|y=2005|t=Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2005}}.

Thirty-four countries participated in the semi-finals of the contest. The semi-final allocation draw took place on 7 February 2010, while the draw for the running order was held on 23 March 2010. To keep tension high, the qualifiers were announced in random order in the semi-finals, and scores were published online only after the final took place.{{cite web|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/oslo2010/voting |title=The Voting |publisher=European Broadcasting Union |access-date=2010-05-26 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100527091611/http://www.eurovision.tv/page/oslo2010/voting |archive-date=2010-05-27 }}

However, the representatives of the broadcasters of Austria, Monaco, and Luxembourg denied participation in the 2010 contest. Wolfgang Lorenz, the programme director of the Austrian broadcaster {{lang|de|Österreichischer Rundfunk|i=no}} (ORF), informed that they would not take part stating that the contest had been "ruined by the regulations".{{cite news |last=Klier |first=Marcus |date=2009-09-22 |title=Confirmed: Austria will not take part in 2010 |publisher=ESCToday |url=http://www.esctoday.com/news/read/14344 |access-date=2009-09-24 |archive-date=2009-09-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090923162028/http://www.esctoday.com/news/read/14344 |url-status=live }}

EBU had talks to {{esccnty|Liechtenstein}}'s only broadcaster 1FLTV for them to join the EBU, and become a part of the Eurovision Song Contest. 1FLTV's programme director Peter Kölbel had confirmed interest in their participation as soon as full EBU membership is granted, which may have happened in December 2009.

Unlike the 2009 and the 2008 postcards, the 2010 postcards were based in simplicity but also included an innovative idea, they are shown like they could be seen right in the venue, over the crowd's heads.

The basic synopsis of the postcards is a numerous group of little golden balls (the theme of the ESC 2010) forms the shape of each country. Then, they move and form a screen where we can see a pre-recorded video of a little crowd from in a city of the country (usually the capital) about to perform supporting and cheering their act. After that, a few seconds of the performer of the country getting ready in the stage are shown; and then, the balls form the flag of the country supported.

In the part of the shape of the country, there were little discrepancies: some countries' shapes, such as those for Serbia, Israel, Armenia, and Azerbaijan, were not completely shown, due to territorial or border disputes in those areas.

NRK announced the hosts of the contest on 10 March 2010. Those chosen were Erik Solbakken, Haddy Jatou N'jie, and Nadia Hasnaoui.

On 11 October 2009, the EBU announced that the format of the semi-finals was to be changed so that the results would be determined by a combination of 50% national jury and 50% televoting, making it more consistent with the final. Each country's votes were determined by combining the jury votes and the televoting results; the countries with the top ten highest points in each semi-final then qualify to participate in the final of the contest.{{cite web|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=4533&_t=Exclusive%3A+Juries+also+get+50%25+stake+in+Semi-Final+result!|title=Exclusive: Juries also get 50% stake in Semi-Final result!|last=Bakker|first=Sietse|date=2009-10-11|publisher=EBU|access-date=2009-10-11|archive-date=2011-06-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110604224509/http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=4533&_t=Exclusive%3A+Juries+also+get+50%25+stake+in+Semi-Final+result!|url-status=live}} This replaces the semi-final format used in the {{escyr|2008}} and {{escyr|2009}} contests in which the countries with the top nine highest points from the televoting results in each semi-final qualified for the final.

A number of fans began a campaign on social networking site Facebook for the return of an orchestra to the contest in Oslo, for the first time since {{escyr|1998}}. An orchestra, which had been used since the first contest in 1956, was dropped after the 1998 contest due to rapid developments in music technology, which made backing tracks more useful.{{cite web|url=http://www.esctoday.com/news/read/14223|title=Fans campaign for return for Eurovision orchestra|last=Viniker|first=Barry|date=2009-08-03|publisher=ESCToday|access-date=2009-08-03|archive-date=2009-08-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090805110913/http://www.esctoday.com/news/read/14223|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=http://www.oikotimes.com/v2/index.php?file=articles&id=6154 |title=The Orchestra to return to the Eurovision Song Contest ? |last=Calleja Bayliss |first=Marc |date=2009-08-03 |publisher=Oikotimes |access-date=2009-08-03 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090807045844/http://www.oikotimes.com/v2/index.php?file=articles&id=6154 |archive-date=2009-08-07 }} Jan Fredrik Heyerdahl of the Norwegian Radio Orchestra said that they were interested in participating in the 2010 contest if the EBU and NRK approved the return of an orchestra. However, no such change to the contest had been approved.

On Sunday 7 February 2010, the draw to decide which countries were to appear in either the first or second semi-final took place. The participating countries excluding the automatic finalists (France, Germany, Norway, Spain, and the United Kingdom) were split into six pots, based upon how those countries had been voting. From these pots, half (or as close to half as is possible) competed in the first Semi Final on 25 May 2010. The other half in that particular pot will compete in the second Semi Final on 27 May 2010. This draw also doubled up as an approximate running order, in order for the delegations from the countries to know when their rehearsals commenced. The draw also determined in which Semi Final the automatic finalists voted in.{{cite web|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=8583&_t=Sunday%3A+Watch+the+Semi-Final+Allocation+Draw!|title=Sunday: Watch the Semi-Final Allocation Draw!|last=Bakker|first=Sietse|date=2010-02-04|publisher=EBU|access-date=2010-02-04|archive-date=2022-06-11|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220611192053/http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=8583|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=http://www.esctoday.com/news/read/14996|title=Eurovision 2010: Semi final allocation draw on Sunday|last=Grillhofer|first=Florian|date=2010-02-04|publisher=ESCToday|access-date=2010-02-04|archive-date=2012-02-29|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120229195720/http://www.esctoday.com/news/read/14996|url-status=live}} The draw for the running order of the semi-finals, finals, and the order of voting, took place on 23 March 2010.

The final took place on 29 May 2010 at 21:00 CEST. The "Big Four" and the host country, Norway, qualified directly for the final. From the two semi-finals on 25 and 27 May 2010, twenty countries qualified for the final. A total of twenty-five countries competed in the final. The voting system used was similar to that used in the {{escyr|2009||2009 contest}} (with a combination of televotes and jury votes), but viewers were able to vote during the performances; the voting window ended 15 minutes after the conclusion of the songs.

Spain was given a second chance to perform after Denmark, following a stage invasion by Jimmy Jump, during their performance.{{cite news | title = Kjent stuntmann stormet scenen under MGP-finalen | date = 2010-05-29 | publisher = Dagbladet | url = http://www.kjendis.no/2010/05/29/kjendis/melodi_grand_prix/eurovision_song_contest/mgp/jimmy_jump/11922420/ | work = Dagbladet | access-date = 2010-05-29 | language = no | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100601034457/http://www.kjendis.no/2010/05/29/kjendis/melodi_grand_prix/eurovision_song_contest/mgp/jimmy_jump/11922420/ | archive-date = 2010-06-01 }}{{cite news | title = Spania får fremføre på nytt | date = 2010-05-29 | publisher = NRK | url = http://nrk.no/programmer/tv/melodi_grand_prix/1.7144974 | work = NRK | access-date = 2010-05-29 | language = no | archive-date = 2010-06-01 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100601021640/http://nrk.no/programmer/tv/melodi_grand_prix/1.7144974 | url-status = live }}{{cite web |url=http://www.aftonbladet.se/nojesbladet/melodifestivalen2010/article7211424.ab |title=Jimmy Jump sprang in på scenen mitt i direktsändning i Eurovision Song Contest-finalen under Spaniens bidrag | Melodifestivalen 2010 | Nöjesbladet | Aftonbladet |date=29 May 2010 |publisher=Aftonbladet.se |access-date=2010-05-30 |archive-date=2010-06-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100601000520/http://www.aftonbladet.se/nojesbladet/melodifestivalen2010/article7211424.ab |url-status=live }}{{cite web |url=http://www.lavozdegalicia.es/genteytelevision/2010/05/29/00031275160815264486424.htm |title=Jimmy Jump salta al escenario durante la actuación de España en Eurovisión |publisher=Lavozdegalicia.es |access-date=2010-05-30 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100601061141/http://www.lavozdegalicia.es/genteytelevision/2010/05/29/00031275160815264486424.htm |archive-date=2010-06-01 }}

The interval act involved a number of live public outdoor dance events from across Europe, which were planned for promotional purposes, but done in the style of a series of spontaneous flashmobs. The outdoor footage was intercut with webcam footage from individual private households. Peter Svaar, Head of Press for the contest on behalf of broadcaster NRK, said: "We want to share the Eurovision Song Contest, rather than just broadcast it."{{cite web|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=11183|title=Eurovision flash mob mania to hit Oslo and Düsseldorf|last=Bakker|first=Sietse|date=2010-03-26|publisher=EBU|access-date=2010-03-26|archive-date=2015-11-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151117024819/http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=11183|url-status=live}} The seven and a half minute long song "Glow", was produced and co-written by the Element team and performed and co-written by Madcon.{{cite web |url=http://www.elementmusicworld.com |title=Element |publisher=Elementmusicworld.com |access-date=2010-05-30 |archive-date=2020-10-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201022065141/http://elementmusicworld.com/ |url-status=live }}{{better source needed|reason=Self-published source|date=July 2022}}

The performance of "{{lang|es|Algo pequeñito|i=no}}" by Daniel Diges, representing {{esccnty|Spain|y=2010}}, was disrupted by Catalan pitch invader Jaume Marquet, also known as Jimmy Jump. The performance continued as Marquet, wearing a barretina, joined in with the choreographed routine, but he ran off when security personnel appeared on the stage. Spain was subsequently allowed to perform their song a second time after Denmark's entry – the 25th and final song – had been performed.
