The Eurovision Song Contest 1982 was the 27th edition of the annual Eurovision Song Contest. It was held on 24 April 1982 in Harrogate, United Kingdom. The presenter was Jan Leeming. The German entrant, Nicole, was the winner with the song Ein bißchen Frieden. Germany received 1.61 times as many points as runner-up Israel, which was a record under the current scoring system until 2009, when Norway received 1.78 times as many points as Iceland. The song also cemented Ralph Siegel and Bernd Meinunger, the song's composers, into German Eurovision tradition, writing 18 Eurovision songs between them before and after Ein bißchen Frieden, 13 of which were for Germany. This was the first time that Germany won the contest. They had competed in the finals every year since the contest's inception.
