At EuroMusic Song Contest
Austria had to attempt in the second semi final. They finished there at the second place.

In the final they performed seventh, following Spain and preceding Albania. They were a long time in the running to take the victory. However, the United States won the edition, and Germany became second. That means that the Austrian entry ended third. It was Austria's first placement in the top 3.

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.
