Sweden chose its entry for Eurovision Song Contest 1960 by the national final, Melodifestivalen 1960. The winning song, "Alla andra får varann" was performed once by Östen Warnerbring and once by Ingrid Berggren. However Sveriges Radio decided that Siw Malmkvist would represent Sweden, as she had been denied that the previous year.
Melodifestivalen 1960 was the selection for the third song to represent Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest. It was the second time that this system of picking a song had been used.
In contrast to the previous year, where only members of the Swedish songwriters association SKAP [sv] could take part, the submission was open for everyone.[1] Before the submission deadline on 25 September 1959, approximately 1100 songs were submitted to SVT for the competition.[1][2] From October 1959, eight radio preselection rounds with two songs each were held in the program Säg det med musik, with a jury consisting of Roland Eiworth [sv], Ulf Peder Olrog and Willard Ringstrand [sv] which determined which eight songs would reach the televised semi-final.[3] In the semi-final, held on 28 December 1959, and broadcast on television and Sveriges Radio P1, the eight songs were reduced to four by a different jury consisting of seven members.[1][3]
At the final of Melodifestivalen two artists sang the same song, one accompanied by the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra under the musical direction of Thore Erling, and the other artist with a smaller ensemble led by Göte Wilhelmson [sv].[2][3]
Four "expert" juries sitting in four different locations (Luleå, Gothenburg, Malmö, Stockholm) decided the winning song.[1][2] The songwriters of the competing entries were only revealed after the announcement of the winning song.[2] Östen Warnerbring performed a short reprise of the winning song "Alla andra får varann" but in the aftermatch of the final, it was the previous year's winner Siw Malmkvist who was chosen as singer at Eurovision.[2]
On the night of the final Siw Malmkvist performed 2nd in the running order, following United Kingdom and preceding Luxembourg. At the close of voting "Alla andra får varann" had received 4 points, placing Sweden joint 10th (with Denmark) of the 13 entries. The Swedish jury awarded its highest mark (4) to Belgium and to contest winners France.[4]
Votingedit
Every country had a jury of ten people. Every jury member could give one point to his or her favourite song.
