Melodifestivalen 1960 (known as Eurovisionsschlagern, svensk final) was the selection for the third song to represent Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest. It was the second time that this system of picking a song had been used. A semifinal was held in which a jury could decide four songs from the original sixteen to qualify for the final. In the final, one singer performed the song with a large orchestra and one with a smaller orchestra. Approximately 1100 songs were submitted to SVT for the competition. The final was broadcast on Sveriges Radio TV and Sveriges Radio P1—the semifinal was not broadcast on television. Siw Malmkvist performed Alla andra får varann at Eurovision.
