The '''Eurovision Song Contest 1968''' was the 13th edition of the [[Eurovision Song Contest]]. It took place in [[London]], United Kingdom, following the country's first victory at the {{escyr|1967||1967 contest}} with the song  "[[Puppet on a String (Sandie Shaw song)|Puppet on a String]]" by [[Sandie Shaw]]. Despite having won for the first time the year before, it was actually the third time that the United Kingdom had hosted the competition, having previously done so in {{escyr|1960}} and {{escyr|1963}}, both of which also took place in London. Organised by the [[European Broadcasting Union]] (EBU) and host broadcaster [[British Broadcasting Corporation]] (BBC), the contest was held at [[Royal Albert Hall]] on 6 April 1968, and was hosted by [[Katie Boyle]] for the third time. It was notably also the first time that the contest was broadcast in colour.

Seventeen countries participated in the contest, the same countries that had participated the previous year.

The winner was {{Esccnty|Spain|y=1968}} with the song "[[La La La (Massiel song)|La La La]]" by [[Massiel]], and written/composed by Manuel de la Calva and Ramón Arcusa. This was Spain's first victory - and their first ever top five placing - in the contest.

== Location ==
[[File:Royal Albert Hall, London - Nov 2012.jpg|thumb|left|Royal Albert Hall, London - host venue of the 1968 contest.]]
The contest was held at the [[Royal Albert Hall]] in [[London]]. The Royal Albert Hall is known for hosting the world's leading artists from several performance genres, sports, award ceremonies, the annual summer [[The Proms|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 hall had a capacity of 7,000 seats.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news |last=René-Roger |date=9 April 1968 |title=La chanson espagnole triomphe devant 200 millions de spectateurs |trans-title=Spanish song triumphs in front of 200 million spectators |language=fr |page=3 |work=[[La Croix (newspaper)|La Croix]] |issn=0242-6056 |oclc=1367977519}}</ref>

All countries that had participated in 1967 also participated in 1968.<ref name=ESC1968/>

The contest featured one representative who had previously performed as lead artists for the same country. [[Isabelle Aubret]] had won Eurovision for {{Esccnty|France|y=1962|t=France in 1962}}.

Originally Spanish broadcaster {{lang|es|[[Televisión Española]]|i=unset}} (TVE) entered [[Joan Manuel Serrat]] to sing "La La La", but his demand to sing in Catalan was an affront to the [[Francoist Spain|Francoist State dictatorship]]. Therefore, 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 [[Castilian Spanish]] with the 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.<ref name=ESC1968>{{cite web|title=Eurovision Song Contest 1968|url=https://eurovision.tv/event/london-1968|publisher=[[EBU]]|access-date=16 June 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Winners of the 1960s - What happened to them?|date=23 July 2011 |url=https://eurovision.tv/story/winners-of-the-1960s-what-happened-to-them|publisher=[[EBU]]|access-date=20 October 2021}}</ref> The Norwegian national selection, [[Melodi Grand Prix]], ended with [[Kirsti Sparboe]] and [[Odd Børre]] winning with the song "{{lang|no|Jeg har aldri vært så glad i noen som deg|i=unset}}". However the composer, [[Kari Diesen]] withdrew the song due to receiving multiple accusations of plagiarism of the song "[[Summer Holiday (song)|Summer Holiday]]" by [[Cliff Richard]].<ref>{{cite book |last=O'Connor |first=John Kennedy |title=The Eurovision Song Contest: The Official History |date=2010 |publisher=[[Carlton Publishing Group|Carlton Books]] |isbn=978-1-84732-521-1 |edition=2nd |location=London |author-link=John Kennedy O'Connor |page=212}}</ref><ref name="Roxburgh" /> The runner-up song in the selection, "Stress" would perform in the contest instead, where [[Odd Børre]] was chosen to be the singer.

== Format ==
1968 was the first time that the Eurovision Song Contest was broadcast in colour.<ref name=":0" /> The countries that broadcast it in colour were France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland, Sweden and the United Kingdom, although in the UK it was broadcast as an encore presentation in colour on [[BBC Two]] the next day. Many Eastern European countries as well as Tunisia broadcast the contest.

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.

== Detailed voting results<span class="anchor" id="Scoreboard"></span> ==
<!-- Anchor in the header is the old section name -->
Due to a misunderstanding by the hostess, Katie Boyle, Switzerland were erroneously awarded 3 votes by Yugoslavia, instead of 2. The scrutineer asked for the Yugoslav votes from [[TV Skopje]] to be announced a second time.

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.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Rules of the Contest |date=31 October 2018 |url=https://eurovision.tv/about/rules |publisher=European Broadcasting Union |access-date=19 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221004011300/https://eurovision.tv/about/rules |archive-date=4 October 2022 |url-status=live}}</ref> 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 [[International Radio and Television Organisation|Intervision]], with an estimated global audience of between 150 and 200 million.<ref>{{cite news |title=Alemania presenta tambien una cancion con el mismo estribillo que la Española |trans-title=Germany also presents a song with the same chorus as the Spanish one |url=https://ahcbdigital.bcn.cat/hemeroteca/visualitzador/ahcb-d102443 |access-date=10 December 2024 |work=[[Diario de Barcelona]] |date=6 April 1968 |location=[[Barcelona]], Spain |page=23 |language=es |via={{ill|Historical Archive of the City of Barcelona|ca|Arxiu Històric de la Ciutat de Barcelona}}}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |author=H.
