About
The Eurovision Song Contest 1971 was the 16th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, held on 3 April 1971 at the Gaiety Theatre in Dublin, Ireland, and presented by Bernadette Ní Ghallchóir. It was organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Radio Telefís Éireann (RTÉ), who staged the event after winning the 1970 contest for Ireland with the song "All Kinds of Everything" by Dana.
Broadcasters from eighteen countries participated in the contest, equalling the record of the 1965 and 1966 editions. Austria returned after their two-year absence, while Finland, Norway, Portugal, and Sweden all returned after having boycotted the competition the previous year. On the other hand, Malta competed for the first time.
