The '''Eurovision Song Contest 1958''' was the third edition of the [[Eurovision Song Contest]]. Organised by the [[European Broadcasting Union]] (EBU) and host broadcaster {{lang|nl|[[Nederlandse Televisie Stichting]]|i=unset}} (NTS), the contest, originally known as the '''{{lang|fr|Grand Prix Eurovision de la Chanson Européenne 1958|i=unset}}''' ({{langx|en|Grand Prix of the Eurovision Song Contest 1958}}<ref name="Radio Times" />) was held on Wednesday 12 March 1958 at the [[AVRO Studios]] in [[Hilversum]], the Netherlands and hosted by Dutch television presenter [[Hannie Lips]]. This marked the first time that the contest was hosted in the country of the preceding year's winner, a tradition that has been continued ever since (with some exceptions).

Ten countries participated, equalling the number which took part the previous year; {{Esccnty|Sweden}} made its first appearance in the contest, while the {{Esccnty|United Kingdom}} decided not to participate.

The winner of the contest was {{Esccnty|France|y=1958}}, represented by the song "{{lang|fr|[[Dors, mon amour|Dors mon amour]]|i=unset}}" performed by [[André Claveau]], marking the first of five eventual wins for the country. Another entry however made a greater impact following the contest; the Italian entry, "{{lang|it|[[Nel blu, dipinto di blu (song)|Nel blu, dipinto di blu]]|i=unset}}" performed by [[Domenico Modugno]] which had placed third, became a worldwide hit for Modugno, winning two [[Grammy Awards]] in 1959 and becoming a chart success in several countries.

Ten countries participated in the 1958 contest, the same number as had featured in the previous year's event. Sweden entered the contest for the first time, while the United Kingdom decided not to compete, despite having originally intended to participate and being listed as one of the participating countries in the original rules dated November 1957.<ref name="ESC1958" /><ref name="UK" />{{sfn|Roxburgh|2012|p=160}} {{esccnty|Monaco}} had also intended to submit an entry, but ultimately did not feature among the participating nations.{{sfn|Roxburgh|2014}}

Held in one of the studios of the AVRO broadcasting complex, the hall contained a small stage for the singers, with the orchestra situated [[Blocking (stage)|stage right]]. The rear of the performance area had interchangeable backgrounds for each song to add context to each song's lyrics, which could also be removed to show the scoreboard during the voting sequence, and the venue was decorated with thousands of [[tulip]]s.<ref name="ESC1958" /><ref>{{cite web |last1=Zwart |first1=Josianne |title=A decade of song: Eurovision winners through the years (1956-1959) |url=https://eurovision.tv/story/a-%20decade-of-song-eurovision-winners-through-the-years-1956-1959 |publisher=[[European Broadcasting Union]] (EBU) |access-date=7 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171104115113/https://eurovision.tv/story/a-%20decade-of-song-eurovision-winners-through-the-years-1956-1959 |archive-date=4 November 2017 |date=4 November 2017 |url-status=live}}</ref>

No significant changes to the rules of the 1957 contest were implemented; each country, participating through one EBU member broadcaster, was represented by one song performed by up to two people on stage.<ref name="ESC1958" />{{sfn|Roxburgh|2012|p=160}} Due to several entries having violated the duration limit in the previous event, the maximum song limit of 3 minutes and 30 seconds was more stringently enforced for this year's entries.<ref name="throwback"/> The voting system was the same as the one used the previous year; the results were determined through jury voting, with each country's jury containing ten individuals who each gave one vote to their favourite song, with no abstentions allowed and with jurors unable to vote for their own country.{{sfn|Roxburgh|2012|pp=164–166}}

During the live transmission of the contest several countries were unable to see or hear the Italian entry, which was the first act to perform, due to a technical fault, and it was subsequently allowed to perform again after the last song.{{sfn|O'Connor|2010|pp=12–13}}{{sfn|Roxburgh|2012|pp=160–164}}<ref>{{cite web |last1=Escudero |first1=Victor M. |title=Ciao Italia!

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. 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 |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.
