Eurovision Song Contest 1967

The Eurovision Song Contest 1967 was the 12th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, held on 8 April 1967 at the Großer Festsaal der Wiener Hofburg in Vienna, Austria, and presented by Erica Vaal. It was organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Österreichischer Rundfunk (ORF), who staged the event after winning the 1966 contest for Austria with the song "Merci, Chérie" by Udo Jürgens. It was the first contest held in the month of April. Broadcasters from seventeen countries participated in the contest, one fewer than the record eighteen that had competed in the 1965 and 1966 editions.
