Sweden in EuroMusic Song Contest 5

Sweden participated in the fifth edition of the EuroMusic Song Contest. The Swedish broadcaster, SVT, was responsible for this edition.

Selection process
This was the fifth edition that they participated in the contest. The broadcaster announced that they would perform in English.

The SVT said in a press conference, two days before the contest, that the top five was a must, but the top three, or even the victory, was achievable for sure.

At EuroMusic Song Contest
Sweden was drawn to perform fifteenth following France and preceding Germany.

Sweden was counted as a possible winner. After the first rehearsal, it was clear that Sweden grew in on the list of the bookmakers.

When the show was ended it was clear that Sweden won the edition in Dublin. It was their first victory for Sweden.

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.

Below is a breakdown of points awarded to Sweden and awarded by Sweden in the final.
