Sixteen countries took part in the seventh Eurovision Song Contest.

Voting procedure

After the Hessischer Rundfunk in particular criticized the fact that the same countries always win, the voting procedure was changed. The juries first determined an internal order. Then only the points of the first three were publicly communicated - the best song received 3, the second best song 2 and the third best song one point.
