18 countries were present at the Eurovision Song contest 1971. The four countries that withdrew in 1970 returned, as well as Austria that had missed two contests. Malta was a new country to participate, but unfortunately for them they ended up last. A new jury system was introduced where two jury members, one older than 25 years and the other one younger, of every country were asked to give between 1 and 5 points to every song. Some jury members gave a small amount of points to keep their own chances high. For example: Luxembourg gave 43 points to all other countries, France 107. Monaco won the contest represented by the French-born singer Séverine who lived in Germany at the time.
