The Eurovision Song Contest 1973 was the 18th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. It took place in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg, following the country's victory at the {{escyr|1972||1972 contest}} with the song "Après toi" by Vicky Leandros. Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster {{lang|fr|Compagnie Luxembourgeoise de Télédiffusion|i=unset}} (CLT), the contest was held at the {{lang|fr|Grand Théâtre|i=unset}} on 7 April 1973 and was hosted by German television presenter Helga Guitton.
Seventeen countries took part in the contest this year, with {{Esccnty|Austria}} and {{Esccnty|Malta}} deciding not to participate, and {{Esccnty|Israel}} competing for the first time.
In a back-to-back victory, {{Esccnty|Luxembourg|y=1973}} won the contest again with the song "{{lang|fr|Tu te reconnaîtras|i=unset}}" by Anne-Marie David. The voting was a very close one, with {{Esccnty|Spain|y=1973}} with "Eres tú" by Mocedades finishing only 4 votes behind and the {{Esccnty|United Kingdom|y=1973}} with "Power to All Our Friends" by Cliff Richard (who had come second in {{escyr|1968}} just behind Spain) another 2 votes further back. The winning song scored the highest score ever achieved in Eurovision under any voting format until 1975, recording 129 votes out of a possible 160, which represented almost 81% of the possible maximum. This was partly due to a scoring system which guaranteed all countries at least two votes from each country.O'Connor, John Kennedy. The Eurovision Song Contest – The Official History.

Luxembourg City is a commune with city status, and the capital of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. It is located at the confluence of the Alzette and Pétrusse Rivers in southern Luxembourg. The city contains the historic Luxembourg Castle, established by the Franks in the Early Middle Ages, around which a settlement developed.
The {{lang|fr|Grand Théâtre de Luxembourg|i=unset}}, inaugurated in 1964 as the {{lang|fr|Théâtre Municipal de la Ville de Luxembourg|i=unset}}, became the venue for the 1973 contest. It is the city's major venue for drama, opera and ballet.[http://salesguide.lu/press-en-4-321.html "The "Grand Théâtre" of Luxembourg City offers high quality cultural events"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110722160736/http://salesguide.lu/press-en-4-321.html |date=2011-07-22 }}, Luxembourg National Tourist Office, London.

Seventeen nations took part in this year's contest. {{esccnty|Israel}} participated for the first time, while {{esccnty|Austria}} and {{esccnty|Malta}} decided against participating. Malta had originally being drawn to perform in sixth position between Norway and Monaco, however the Maltese broadcaster withdrew before the deadline to select an entry.{{cite book |last1=Roxburgh |first1=Gordon |title=Songs for Europe: The United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest |date=2014 |publisher=Telos Publishing |location=Prestatyn |isbn=978-1-84583-093-9 |pages=113–128 |series=Volume Two: The 1970s}}
Several of the performing artists had previously competed as lead artists representing the same country in past editions: Marion Rung had represented {{esccnty|Finland|y=1962|t=Finland in 1962}}, Cliff Richard had represented the {{esccnty|United Kingdom|y=1968|t=United Kingdom in 1968}}, and Massimo Ranieri had represented {{esccnty|Italy|y=1971|t=Italy in 1971}}.
The language rule forcing countries to enter songs sung in any of their national languages was dropped this year, so performers from some countries sang in English.

Contest overview<span class="anchor" id="Results"></span><span class="anchor" id="Participants and results"></span>
In light of the events that had happened during the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, there were fears of a terrorist threat, particularly directed against Israel's first-ever entrant, leading to unusually tight security for the contest. This gave rise to one of the best-known Eurovision anecdotes, frequently recounted by the BBC's long-serving commentator Terry Wogan. He recalled that the floor manager strongly advised the audience to remain seated while applauding the performances, otherwise they risked being shot by security forces.O'Connor, John Kennedy. The Eurovision Song Contest – The Official History. Carlton Books, UK. 2007 {{ISBN|978-1-84442-994-3}}
This contest holds the record for the most watched Eurovision Song Contest in the United Kingdom, and is also the 18th most watched television show there, with an estimated 21.54 million tuning in on the evening. The song "Power to All Our Friends" performed by Cliff Richard represented the {{Esccnty|United Kingdom|y=1973}}, finising 3rd with 123 votes. The winner though was "{{lang|fr|Tu te reconnaîtras|i=unset}}" performed by Anne-Marie David.

Detailed voting results<span class="anchor" id="Scoreboard"></span>
Each participating broadcaster appointed two jury members, one aged between 16 and 25 and one aged between 26 and 55, with at least 10 years between their ages. They each scored each song between 1 to 5 (other than the song from their own country) immediately after it was performed and the scores were collected and counted as soon as they were cast. All jury members were located at Villa Louvigny CLT studios, watched the show on television from there, and appeared on screen to confirm their scores after all songs were performed.

Each participating broadcaster was required to relay the contest via its networks. Non-participating EBU member broadcasters were also able to relay the contest as "passive participants". Broadcasters were able to send commentators to provide coverage of the contest in their own native language and to relay information about the artists and songs to their television viewers.{{cite web |title=The Rules of the Contest |date=31 October 2018 |url=https://eurovision.tv/about/rules |publisher=European Broadcasting Union |access-date=19 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221004011300/https://eurovision.tv/about/rules |archive-date=4 October 2022 |url-status=live}}
