Voting Structure
Each Country had a Jury who awarded 12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 points for their top ten songs.
The voting itself was exciting, the German favourites looked to be cruising to an early victory. However both Sweden and Norway did their best to keep up and by the time the UK jury delivered their votes (only 1 point for Germany and 12 for Norway), Germany had seen its lead smashed. The largely Scandinavian audience in Gothenburg were enveloped in the drama being played out on the scoreboard. Norway went on to win the contest before the results of the final jury were delivered. This led to much jubilation in both Norway and in the Scandinavium, 'Nil points' Norway were victors at last.
