14th contest

Eurovision 1969

The 1969 Eurovision Song Contest, the 14th edition, was held in Madrid, Spain. Four countries finished level on 18 points and there was no tie-break rule, so all four were declared winners: France (Frida Boccara, "Un jour, un enfant"), the Netherlands (Lenny Kuhr, "De troubadour"), Spain (Salomé, "Vivo cantando") and the United Kingdom (Lulu, "Boom Bang-a-Bang").

Compiled from the public record of the contest. Years, hosts, winners, songs and performers are stated; participant counts and pre-2000 venues are left blank rather than estimated, and will be filled in as each is checked against a primary source. This is a different standard from the two-independent-sources bar that a 2027 confirmation has to clear, and it is held to a lower one — spotted an error? It is worth telling us about.
