Norway was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1971 with the song "Lykken er", written by Arne Bendiksen, and performed by Hanne Krogh. The Norwegian participating broadcaster, Norsk rikskringkasting (NRK), selected its entry through the Melodi Grand Prix 1971.
"Lykken er" marked Norway's return to Eurovision after their first of only two absences to date since their debut, when they were one of five countries to boycott the 1970 contest in protest at the four-way tie in 1969 and the fact that they (along with Finland and Sweden) considered that the voting system of the late 1960s tended to place the Nordic countries at a disadvantage.
