Eurovision Song Contest Wiki


The Eurovision Song Contest 1971 was the 16th annual edition and was held on 3 April 1971 at the Gaiety Theatre in Dublin following Dana's victory in Amsterdam the year before.

Austria, Finland, Norway, Portugal and Sweden all returned, while Malta made its debut.

The new voting system that was introduced in this Eurovision did have one big problem: some juries gave fewer points out than others in hope to get their own country to win.

Groups of no more than six people were allowed on stage for the first time at this edition. Monaco earned its first (and at present, only) win with the song Un banc, un arbre, une rue performed by Séverine.

The contest also aired in Argentina, Ethiopia, Hong Kong, Jamaica, Kenya, Mauritania, Mauritus, Sierra Leone, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, and Uganda all aired the 1971 contest, and some of these (excluding Hong Kong and Thailand) only aired this particualar contest.
