Concours Eurovision 1982

Swiss French broadcaster Télévision Suisse Romande (TSR) was in charge of staging and broadcasting the selection for the Swiss entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 1982. TSR held the national final in its studios in Geneva, hosted by Serge Moisson. Nine songs were submitted for the 1982 national final and the winning song was chosen by 3 regional juries representing each linguistic region of Switzerland (DRS, TSR, TSI), plus a press jury and a jury of music professionals.
