At Eurovision

On the evening of the final Mess performed 10th in the running order, following Sweden and preceding Belgium. At the close of voting "Sonntag" placing Austria 9th of the 18 entries. The Austrian jury awarded its 12 points to the United Kingdom (but, curiously enough, only awarded eventual winner Germany a single point; the only other country that gave Germany less than six points - Luxembourg, who awarded Germany no points - also gave the United Kingdom their top score).
