Portugal's participation goes back to the early
sixties but it
wasn't until the two man-per country jury system was used a decade later that
their results began to improve, however it was soon back to meagre returns when
the current voting system came in, with only the occasional foray into
mid-table.
The early nineties can probably be noted as Portugal's finest era,
with some cracking female solo ballads, but
they have yet to crack the top five and the last decade has seen some dismal
results. After Finland's 2006 victory they have now been
the country waiting the longest for a win.
