It was organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK). It was broadcast in twenty countries and viewed by 100Â million people. Broadcasters from eighteen countries participated, with France and Switzerland participating for the first time.
The winner was Spain with the song "Antes muerta que sencilla" by 9-year-old MarÃa Isabel from her debut album ¡No me toques las palmas que me conozco! which was released before the contest.
