Norway has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 58 times since making its debut in 1960 and has only been absent twice since then. In 1970, the country boycotted the contest over disagreements about the voting structure, and in 2002, they were relegated. The contest is broadcast in Norway by NRK, which also broadcasts Norway’s national selection competition, Melodi Grand Prix. Before 1985, Norway’s best result in the contest was Åse Kleveland’s third-place in 1966. Norway’s three victories in the contest were achieved by Bobbysocks in 1985, Secret Garden in 1995 and Alexander Rybak in 2009. Norway also finished second at the 1996 contest, with former Bobbysocks member Elisabeth Andreassen. Norway has finished last in eleven Eurovision Song Contest finals, of which four times with “nul points”. Norway has a total of eleven top-five results in the contest, the latest being Margaret Berger’s fourth place in 2013.
