National juries in all competing countries, including Norway, listened to the submitted entries on <a href="/wiki/Magnetic_tape" title="Magnetic tape">audio tape</a>, with juries required to listen to all songs three times before voting. Each of the eight members on each country's jury awarded their favourite song twelve points, their second-favourite ten points, their third-favourite eight points, with subsequent points being awarded consecutively down to each juror's tenth-favourite song being awarded one point, with the points awarded by all jurors being totalled to determine each country's top ten songs which were awarded points in the same manner.
