In the 1978 competition, Norway became the first country to not receive a single vote for their entry, 'Mil Etter Mil' (Mile after Mile).

I believe the above answer relates to the first "nul point" result after the method of scoring was changed in 1975. 12 other countries had scored nil before 1978.

In 1962 four countries failed to score, the first time zeroes had been registered in the final tally...
