Sweden did not compete in the Eurovision Song Contest 1970 , as a protest against that four countries shared the victory the preceding year . They were , however , back for the 1971 contest . Five semi-finals , with the same three competitors in all of them , were held in the popular TV show '' Hylands hörna '' . The group Family Four won all of the semi-finals , and therefore sung all the songs in the final .
