The '''Eurovision Song Contest 1957''' was the second edition of the [[Eurovision Song Contest]]. Organised by the [[European Broadcasting Union]] (EBU) and host broadcaster {{lang|de|[[Hessischer Rundfunk]]|i=unset}} (HR) on behalf of [[ARD (broadcaster)|ARD]], the contest, originally known as the '''{{lang|fr|Grand Prix Eurovision de la Chanson Européenne 1957|i=unset}}''' ({{langx|en|Eurovision Grand Prize of European Song 1957}}<ref name="Radio Times" />) was held on Sunday 3 March 1957 and was hosted at the {{lang|de|[[hr-Sendesaal|Großer Sendesaal des Hessischen Rundfunks]]|i=unset}} in [[Frankfurt]], West Germany by German actress [[Anaid Iplicjian]].

Ten countries took part, with {{Esccnty|Austria}}, {{Esccnty|Denmark}}, and the {{Esccnty|United Kingdom}} competing for the first time and joining the original seven participating countries from the first contest in {{escyr|1956}}. A number of changes to the rules from the previous year's event were enacted, with each country now represented by only one song, which could be performed by up to two performers on stage. The voting system received an overhaul, with each country's jury now comprising ten individuals which awarded one vote each to their favourite song. The results of the voting were now conducted in public, with a scoreboard introduced to allow the process to be followed by viewers and listeners at home. Jurors were also for the first time not allowed to vote for the song from their own country.

The winner of the contest was the {{Esccnty|Netherlands|y=1957}}, with the song "{{lang|nl|[[Net als toen]]|i=unset}}" performed by [[Corry Brokken]]. This was Brokken's second appearance as a participant, after previously representing the Netherlands in 1956; her victory marked the first of five Dutch wins in the contest {{as of|2025|lc=y}}.<ref>{{cite web |title=Netherlands – Participation history |url=https://eurovision.tv/country/the-netherlands |publisher=[[European Broadcasting Union]] (EBU) |access-date=10 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220517163809/https://eurovision.tv/country/the-netherlands |archive-date=17 May 2022 |url-status=live}}</ref>

A new plan for staging the event was invoked ahead of the 1957 contest, with a different broadcaster organising the contest each year, after Switzerland's [[Swiss Broadcasting Corporation|SRG SSR]], which had both hosted the contest and provided the winning entry in {{escyr|1956}}, declined to stage it for a second time.<ref name="throwback" /> Germany was subsequently selected to host the second edition, after Hans-Otto Grünefeldt, TV program director at HR, offered to organise it on behalf of [[ARD (broadcaster)|ARD]].{{efn|name="ARD"|{{lang|de|Arbeitsgemeinschaft der öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunkanstalten der Bundesrepublik Deutschland}} &ndash; "Working group of public broadcasters of the Federal Republic of Germany"}}<ref name="ESC1957" /><ref>{{cite news |last1=Rolfs |first1=Pia |title=Grand Prix Eurovision vor 60 Jahren: Am Main siegte ein 'Meisje' |trans-title=Grand Prix Eurovision 60 years ago: A 'Meisje' won on the Main |url=https://www.fnp.de/boulevard/grand-prix-eurovision-jahren-main-siegte-meisje-10478119.html |access-date=3 June 2022 |work=[[Frankfurter Neue Presse]] |date=3 March 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210605131251/https://www.fnp.de/boulevard/grand-prix-eurovision-jahren-main-siegte-meisje-10478119.html |archive-date=5 June 2021 |language=de |url-status=live}}</ref> [[Frankfurt]] was selected as host city as early as June 1956 during an [[European Broadcasting Union|EBU]] meeting in Italy.<ref>{{Cite news |date=22 June 1956 |title=Eurovisiebesluiten voor 1957 |trans-title=Eurovision decisions for 1957 |language=nl |page=7 |work=Het Binnenhof |location=[[The Hague]], Netherlands |url=https://resolver.kb.nl/resolve?urn=MMKB19:000391067:mpeg21:a00139 |access-date=5 November 2023 |oclc=72687086 |via=[[Delpher]]}}</ref>

Two of the participating artists, Switzerland's [[Lys Assia]] and the Netherlands' [[Corry Brokken]], had previously competed at the 1956 contest.

The contest was organised and broadcast by HR on behalf of ARD, with [[Michael Kehlmann]] serving as director and [[Willy Berking]] serving as [[Music director|musical director]], leading the {{lang|de|[[hr-Bigband|Tanz- und Unterhaltungsorchester des Hessischen Rundfunks]]|i=unset}} during the event.{{sfn|Roxburgh|2012|pp=156–158}}{{sfn|O'Connor|2010|p=217}}<ref>{{cite news |title=Radio und Fernsehen |trans-title=Radio and television |url=https://www.e-newspaperarchives.ch/?a=d&d=DBB19570303-02.2.8.12.2 |access-date=12 June 2022 |work=[[Der Bund]] |date=3 March 1957 |location=[[Bern]], Switzerland |page=21 |language=de |via=[[E-newspaperarchives.ch]]}}</ref><ref name="B+F" /> Each country was allowed to nominate their own musical director to lead the orchestra during the performance of their country's entry, with the host musical director also [[conducting]] for those countries which did not nominate their own conductor.{{sfn|Roxburgh|2012|pp=152–156}}

The stage built in the {{lang|de|Großer Sendesaal|i=unset}} featured a wooden staircase for the artists and conductors to make their entrance, and a [[lyre]]-shaped background for the singers, which should symbolize the history of popular songs since the Middle Ages.<ref name="Frankfurter">{{Cite news |last=Schmitt |first=Peter-Philipp |date=13 May 2017 |title=Eurovision im Großen Sendesaal |work=[[Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung]] (Rhein-Main-Zeitung) |location=[[Frankfurt]], West Germany |page=35 |language=de |issue=111 |oclc=723829455}}</ref> The centre of the background contained a removable background, allowing for a different graphic to be used for each nation's performance.<ref name="throwback" />{{sfn|O'Connor|2010|pp=10–11}} The background of the orchestra featured photographs from different European landmarks, such as the [[Brandenburg Gate]], the [[Colosseum]] and the [[Arc de Triomphe]].<ref name="Frankfurter" /> Curtains were used extensively as backgrounds and decorative elements.<ref name="Frankfurter" /> The entire contest, including the performances and voting, lasted around one hour in total.{{sfn|Roxburgh|2012|p=152}}<ref name="likeitwas">{{cite web |title=Looking back to just like it was in 1957 |url=https://eurovision.tv/story/looking-back-to-just-like-it-was-in-1957 |publisher=[[European Broadcasting Union]] (EBU) |access-date=3 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180513004233/https://eurovision.tv/story/looking-back-to-just-like-it-was-in-1957 |archive-date=13 May 2018 |date=3 March 2014 |url-status=live}}</ref> Held just over nine months after the inaugural contest, the contest date of 3 March remains the earliest date in the calendar year in which the contest has been held.<ref name="throwback" />

A number of changes from the rules of the previous year's contest were enacted in 1957. Each country was now permitted to send only one song to compete, as opposed to the maximum of two in 1956.{{sfn|O'Connor|2010|pp=10–11}} Up to two people were now allowed on stage during the performance, however no other vocal backing was allowed.<ref name="ESC1957" /><ref name="throwback" />{{sfn|O'Connor|2010|pp=10–11}}

A new voting system was introduced, with ten individuals in each country giving one vote to their favourite song, with no abstentions allowed.<ref name="throwback" /> In an additional change to the 1956 rules, jurors were not allowed to vote for the song from their own country.<ref name="throwback" />{{sfn|Roxburgh|2012|pp=156–158}} A [[scoreboard]] was introduced for the first time, and the voting process was now included as part of the broadcast, rather than conducted in secret as in 1956. This new aspect of the contest was inspired by the United Kingdom's ''[[Festival of British Popular Songs]]'', which included voting by regional juries and the running total being shown on a scoreboard, a [[telerecording]] of which was viewed by EBU organisers.{{sfn|Roxburgh|2012|p=152}}<ref name="throwback" /> Each jury assembled in their own country to follow the contest on television and were then contacted by telephone by the contest's presenter in order to announce their votes, in a change from 1956 when the jurors were co-located to the contest venue.<ref name="throwback" />{{sfn|O'Connor|2010|pp=10–11}}

Each song, as in 1956, was required to last no longer than three minutes and 30 seconds, however several of the competing entries went beyond this limit. Italy's song, which lasted for five minutes and nine seconds, remains the longest song in the contest's history and, despite heavy protest, was not disqualified.<ref name="throwback" />{{sfn|O'Connor|2010|pp=10–11}} Conversely, the United Kingdom's first entry lasted for one minute and 53 seconds in total, and remained the shortest song to compete in the contest until {{Escyr|2015}}.<ref name="throwback" /> Subsequently the restriction on song length was more strictly monitored from {{Escyr|1958}} onwards.<ref name="throwback" />{{sfn|O'Connor|2010|pp=10–11}}

The draw that determined the running order was held on 2 March 1957.<ref name="contestAV">{{cite AV media |date=3 March 1957 |title=Grand Prix Eurovision de la Chanson Européenne 1957 |trans-title=Eurovision Grand Prix of European Song 1957 |type=Television programme |language=de |location=[[Frankfurt]], West Germany |publisher=[[ARD (broadcaster)|ARD]] and {{lang|de|[[Hessischer Rundfunk]]|i=unset}} (HR)}}</ref>

Broadcasters competing in the event were required to relay the contest via its networks; non-participating EBU member broadcasters were also able to relay the contest. In total, the contest was broadcast in 12 countries.<ref>{{Cite news |date=17 March 1957 |title=Europa sang um die Wette |trans-title=Europe competed in singing |work={{ill|Bild+Funk|de}} (Ausgabe B) |page=7 |language=de |issue=12/1956 |oclc=643528928}}</ref> 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.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Rules of the Contest |url=https://eurovision.tv/about/rules |publisher=[[European Broadcasting Union]] (EBU) |access-date=13 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170414002249/https://eurovision.tv/about/rules |archive-date=14 April 2017 |language=en |url-status=live}}</ref> Known details on the broadcasts in each country, including the specific broadcasting stations and commentators are shown in the tables below.

The 1957 contest is the earliest edition to exist in full in the EBU's archives, as the 1956 edition has survived solely through audio recordings, with some missing segments, and limited video footage of the winning reprise performance through [[newsreel]] and other recordings.<ref name="throwback" /><ref name="likeitwas" /><ref>{{cite web |last1=Roxburgh |first1=Gordon |title=A diamond day for the Eurovision Song Contest |url=https://eurovision.tv/story/a-diamond-day-for-the-eurovision-song-contest |publisher=[[European Broadcasting Union]] (EBU) |access-date=24 February 2021 |date=19 October 2015 |archive-date=30 July 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170730223716/https://eurovision.tv/story/a-diamond-day-for-the-eurovision-song-contest |url-status=live }}</ref> Although the number of households which had access to a television in Europe continued to grow, this edition, as in the case of the 1956 contest, was still mainly accessed by spectators via radio.<ref name="ESC1957" />
