Luxembourg in EuroMusic Song Contest 1

Luxembourg participated in the first edition of the EuroMusic Song Contest. The EBU invited the Luxembourgish broadcaster, RTL, to compete in this edition.

Selection process
For their first participation the Luxembourgish broadcaster, RTL, decided to select their submission internally. The RTL decided to not hold a national selection because of the high cost. For this edition, the EBU decided that the countries have to perform a song in their own national language. Because of this, Luxembourg had three options. French, Luxembourgish and German.

Later on, the RTL presented the French language song: "Poupée de cire, poupée de son" to send to Madrid.

Luxembourg became 10th with 20 points, the same amouth of Cyprus. Because that Luxembourg received from more countries points, they were rank higher.

Voting
The voting during the final consisted of 50 percent public televoting and 50 percent from a jury deliberation. The jury consisted of five music industry professionals who were citizens of the country they represent. This jury was asked to judge each contestant based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act. In addition, no member of a national jury could be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently.
