context_page_description: The Eurovision Song Contest 1969 was the 14th edition of the annual Eurovision Song Contest.
  Four countries won the contest, the first time ever a tie had occurred. However, there was no rule at the time to cover such an eventuality, so all four countries were declared joint winners.
  France's win was their fourth, thus making it the first country to win the contest four times. The Netherlands' win was their third. Spain and the United Kingdom each won for the second time. And it was the first time that any country had a winning ESC entry two years in a row. This is so far the only occasion Spain has hosted the contest, as well as their last win to date.
context_section_description: The venue selected to host the 1969 contest was the Teatro Real, an opera house located in Madrid. The theatre reopened in 1966 as a concert theatre and the main concert venue of the Spanish National Orchestra and the RTVE Symphony Orchestra. The final featured an onstage metal sculpture created by surrealist Spanish artist, Amadeo Gabino.
