1969: Four Winners

The Franco regime in Spain attempted to use the Gran Premio de la Canción de Eurovisión to present itself as modern and attractive. Artist Salvador Dalí, who was sympathetic to the dictatorship, was involved as a designer. 

In the end, singers from four different countries tied for first place, receiving the same number of points. Since there were not enough medals, the organisers had to improvise. Only the singers were presented with medals on stage, not the composers who were also at the contest.
