Template:Infobox song contest The Eurovision Song Contest 1968 was the 13th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, held on 6 April 1968 at the Royal Albert Hall in London, United Kingdom, and presented by Katie Boyle. It was organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), who staged the event after winning the Template:Escyr for the Template:Esccnty with the song "Puppet on a String" by Sandie Shaw. Despite being the UK's first win at the contest, it was actually the third time that the BBC had hosted the competition, having previously done so in Template:Escyr and Template:Escyr, both of which also took place in London and were presented by Katie Boyle. It was the first time the event was broadcast in colour.

Broadcasters from seventeen countries participated in the contest, the same countries that had participated the previous year.

The winner was Template:Esccnty with the song "La La La", written by Manuel de la Calva and Ramón Arcusa, and performed by Massiel. This was Spain's first victory - and their first ever top five placing - in the contest. The Template:Esccnty, Template:Esccnty, Template:Esccnty and Template:Esccnty rounded out the top five. Spain's win over the United Kingdom by a single point, marked the closest finish in the contest up to that point.

Royal Albert Hall, London - host venue of the 1968 contest.

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) staged the 1968 contest in London, after winning the Template:Escyr for the Template:Esccnty with the song "Puppet on a String" by Sandie Shaw. The venue selected was the Royal Albert Hall. This concert hall is known for hosting the world's leading artists from several performance genres, sports, award ceremonies, the annual summer Proms concerts and other events since its opening in 1871, and has become one of the United Kingdom's most treasured and distinctive buildings. At the time of the contest in 1968, the venue had a capacity of 7,000 seats.[1]

Template:Interlanguage link info Template:ESC 1968 participants Broadcasters from seventeen countries participated in the 1968 contest, the same countries that had participated in 1967.[2]

The contest featured one representative who had previously performed as lead artists for the same country. Isabelle Aubret had won Eurovision for Template:Esccnty.

Originally Spanish broadcaster Televisión Española (TVE) entered Joan Manuel Serrat to sing "La La La", but after he demanded to sing the song in Catalan at the contest, Massiel, who was on tour in Mexico, was brought in as a late replacement. In just two weeks, she had to rush back to Spain, learn the song, record it in several languages, travel to Paris to get a dress and go to London for rehearsals. She sang the song in the contest in Spanish with a new arrangement made to fit her. In her winning reprise, she performed part of her song in English, in addition to the original version, becoming the first winner to do so.[2][3] The Norwegian national selection, Template:Esccnty, ended with the song "Jeg har aldri vært så glad i noen som deg" winning performed by both Kirsti Sparboe and Odd Børre. However the composer, Kari Diesen withdrew the song due to receiving multiple accusations of plagiarism of the song "Summer Holiday" by Cliff Richard.[4][5] Norsk rikskringkasting (NRK) internally selected the runner-up song in the selection, "Stress" to participate in the contest instead, and Odd Børre was chosen as the singer.

Format

[edit | edit source]

This was the first Eurovision Song Contest produced and broadcast in colour.[1] The countries in which it was broadcast in colour were France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.[lower-alpha 2] In some other country, such as Spain, although the contest was not broadcast in colour because its network was not yet ready, its jury was able to watch it in colour directly from the Eurovision network signal, which was already reaching its broadcaster's studios in colour.[8]

Contest overview

[edit | edit source]

Prior to the contest, the bookmakers were sure of another British victory, as the English singer Cliff Richard, who was already dominating the music charts at that time, was hotly tipped as the favourite to win, but in the end he lost out to Spain's song by a margin of just one vote. This was the closest finish in any contest up to this point and would remain so until twenty years later.

Spokespersons

[edit | edit source]

Each participating broadcaster appointed a spokesperson who was responsible for announcing the votes for its respective country via telephone. Known spokespersons at the 1968 contest are listed below.

Detailed voting results

[edit | edit source]

Every participating broadcaster assembled a jury panel of ten people. Every jury member could give one vote to his or her favourite song, except that representing their own country. This means that any song could receive a maximum of 10 votes from a national jury, but none achieved this. The highest number of votes a song received from a jury was six, received by the songs of Spain, Ireland, Sweden, and France.

Due to a misunderstanding by the hostess, Katie Boyle, Switzerland was erroneously awarded 3 votes by Yugoslavia, instead of 2. The scrutineer asked for the Yugoslav votes to be announced a second time.

Broadcasts

[edit | edit source]

Each participating broadcaster was required to relay the contest via its networks. Non-participating EBU member broadcasters were also able to relay the contest as "passive participants". Broadcasters were able to send commentators to provide coverage of the contest in their own native language and to relay information about the artists and songs to their television viewers.[16] In addition to the participating countries, the contest was also reportedly broadcast in Tunisia, and in Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania and the Soviet Union via Intervision, with an estimated global audience of between 150 and 200 million.[17][18][19]

Known details on the broadcasts in each country, including the specific broadcasting stations and commentators are shown in the tables below.
