While the contest was shown and recorded for television broadcasting in certain European countries ( as television sets were somewhat uncommon still at this time ) , no copies have survived , with the exception of Lys Assia 's repeat performance at the end of the contest . It is one of only two contests to not have survived completely , along with the 1964 contest ( of which the tapes were destroyed in a fire )
