}}Norway has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 57 times since making its debut in {{escyr|1960}} and has only been absent twice since then. In 1970, the country boycotted the contest over disagreements about the voting structure, and in 2002, they were relegated. The contest is broadcast in Norway by NRK, which also broadcasts Norway's national selection competition, the Melodi Grand Prix. Before 1985, Norway's best result in the contest was Åse Kleveland's third place in {{escyr|1966}}. Norway's three victories in the contest were achieved by Bobbysocks in {{escyr|1985}}, Secret Garden in {{escyr|1995}} and Alexander Rybak in {{escyr|2009}}. Norway also finished second at the {{escyr|1996}} contest, with former Bobbysocks member Elisabeth Andreassen. Norway has the two dubious distinctions of having finished last in more Eurovision finals than any other country and for having the most "nul points", finishing last 11 times and failing to score a point four times. Norway has a total of 11 top five results in the contest. HistoryNorway's first entrant in the contest in 1960 was Nora Brockstedt, who finished fourth. Åse Kleveland then finished third in {{escyr|1966}}. Following Kleveland's result, Norway would fail to reach the top ten in 14 out of their next 15 attempts, the exception being Bendik Singers seventh place in {{escyr|1973}}. Before {{escyr|1985}}, Norway had only reached the top five in two out of 24 attempts and had finished last six times. In 1985, Bobbysocks gave the country its first victory with the song "La det swinge" (Let It Swing). Norway went on to achieve two more top five results over the next ten years, with both Karoline Krüger in {{escyr|1988}} and Silje Vige in {{escyr|1993}}, finishing fifth. Norway's second victory came in 1995 with Secret Garden's mainly instrumental, Celtic-influenced ethno-piece "Nocturne". In {{escyr|1996}}, Elisabeth Andreassen, who had won the contest as one half of Bobbysocks, returned to finish second. In {{escyr|2003}}, Jostein Hasselgård was fourth. Norway won for the third time in 2009, with Alexander Rybak's smash hit "Fairytale". The 2009 winning score of 387 points being the highest ever winning total under the voting system used between 1975 and 2015. It also achieved the biggest ever margin of victory. In {{escyr|2012}}, Norway finished last in the final for the 11th time. Norway has the two dubious distinctions of having finished last in the Eurovision final more than any other country and for having the most "nul points" (zero points) in the contest, failing to score a point four times, in {{escyr|1963}}, {{escyr|1978}}, {{escyr|1981}} and {{escyr|1997}}. Austria has also scored "nul points" four times. Since the introduction of the semi-final round in 2004, Norway has finished in the top ten seven times. Wig Wam finished ninth with the song "In My Dreams" in {{escyr|2005}}, Maria Haukaas Storeng was fifth in 2008 with "Hold On Be Strong", Alexander Rybak won in 2009, Margaret Berger was fourth in 2013 with "I Feed You My Love", Carl Espen finished eighth in 2014 performing "Silent Storm", Mørland & Debrah Scarlett finished eighth in {{escyr|2015}} with "A Monster Like Me", and JOWST featuring Aleksander Walmann finished tenth with the song "Grab the Moment" in {{escyr|2017}}. Norway has a total of 11 top five and 23 top ten results in the contest. Contestants- Table key

- {{efn|name=fn5|Spain originally gave its 12 points to Israel and 10 to Norway. After the broadcast it was announced that Spanish broadcaster wrongly tallied the votes and Germany should have got the top mark - 12 points - instead of being snubbed, as it happened. The mistake was corrected and so Germany was placed 7th over Norway. Israel and Norway both received 2 points less than originally and Croatia, Malta, Portugal, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Belgium, Estonia and Turkey all received one point less than indicated during the broadcast.}}
