Portugal was represented by Carlos do Carmo, with the song "Uma flor de verde pinho", at the 1976 Eurovision Song Contest, which took place on 3 April in The Hague. "Uma flor de verde pinho" was chosen as the Portuguese entry at the Grande Prémio TV da Canção Portuguesa on 7 March.
For the first time, only one singer was chosen to perform all the songs: Carlos do Carmo, a highly respected fado singer, was invited to perform the eight songs, chosen by public contest.[3]
The voting system was once again changed: for the first time, the public was invited to participate on the choice, casting votes on postcards via post until 3 March. On 22 February, the eight compositions were presented to the general public, on RTP1 and on the 23 on RTP2, although the respective authors and composers were not yet known. On 7 March and after the votes of the Portuguese people were scrutinized, the eight songs are again presented from 8th to 1st place, where the authors of each theme and the percentage of votes obtained for each song were revealed.[3]
