The Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SRG SSR) held a national final to select its entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 1975. The broadcaster received 96 total song submissions, and ultimately selected seven to take part in the selection on December 10 and 11, with four being performed in French, two in Italian, and one in German.[1][2] Among the participants was Peter, Sue & Marc— who represented Switzerland in 1971, and would repeat this in 1976, 1979, and 1981. "Le chercheur d'or" by Pierre Alain was previously submitted to the 1972 Swiss internal selection.[3]
The voting consisted of regional public votes which were sent to the three divisions of SRG SSR (DRS, TSR, TSI: German, French and Italian speaking, respectively) from February 12 to 16, a press jury, and an "expert" jury.[1][8] The votes were delivered in rankings, rather than points.[7] The results and winner were announced live on television on 21 February in Bern.[8] The winner was the song "Mikado" performed and written by Simone Drexel.
At the Eurovision Song Contest 1975, held at Sankt Eriks-Mässan in Stockholm, the Swiss entry was the seventh entry of the night following Norway and preceding Yugoslavia. The Swiss conductor at the contest was Peter Jacques. At the close of voting, Switzerland had received 77 points in total; finishing in sixth place out of nineteen countries.
Voting
Each participating broadcaster assembled a jury panel with at least eleven members. The jurors awarded 1-8, 10, and 12 points to their top ten songs. Until 1980, the votes were given in the order the awarded songs were performed in, rather than in ascending numerical order.
