  • Major rule and presentation changes were introduced in 1957: each country could send only one song, up to two performers were allowed on stage, and jurors were впервые barred from voting for their own country.
  • Voting was overhauled with ten-person national juries, conducted live by telephone, and a public scoreboard was introduced for transparency and drama.
  • Italy set a lasting record with the contest’s longest song (5:09) and was not disqualified despite protests, while the UK debut entry was unusually short (1:53).
