The OTI Festival 1980 (Spanish: Noveno Gran Premio de la Canción Iberoamericana, Portuguese: Nono Grande Prêmio da Canção Ibero-Americana) was the ninth edition of the OTI Festival, held on 15 November 1980 at the Martín Coronado hall of the Teatro General San Martín in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and presented by Antonio Carrizo and Liliana López Foresi. It was organised by the Organización de Televisión Iberoamericana (OTI) and host broadcaster Argentina Televisora Color (ATC), who staged the event following Canal Once's win in the 1979 festival for Argentina with the song "Cuenta conmigo" by Daniel Riolobos.
Broadcasters from twenty-three countries participated in the festival, reaching a new record of number of participants. The winner was the song "Contigo mujer" performed by Rafael José representing Puerto Rico, with "Querer y perder" by Dyango representing Spain placing second, and "Dime adiós" by Luis Ordóñez representing Argentina placing third.
The Organización de Televisión Iberoamericana (OTI) accepted the proposal of Argentina Televisora Color (ATC) to host the ninth edition of the OTI Festival, following Canal Once's win in the previous edition for Argentina with the song "Cuenta conmigo" by Daniel Riolobos.
ATC staged the event in Buenos Aires. The venue selected was the Martin Coronado hall of the Teatro General San Martín. The theatre, inaugurated in 1960, is one of the oldest in the city. With 1,049 seats, the Martin Coronado hall is the biggest room of the theatre.
On 10 November 1980, a cocktail reception was held upon the arrival of the delegations, attended by all the participating artists, executives from the participating broadcasters, OTI officials, and numerous accredited journalists.[1]
Participants
Broadcasters from twenty-three countries participated in this edition of the OTI Festival. The OTI members, public or private broadcasters from Spain, Portugal, and twenty-one Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries of Ibero-America signed up for the festival. All countries that participated in the previous edition returned, and were joined by Bolivia, which had withdrawn in 1976, and Nicaragua, which had withdrawn in 1978. With twenty-three entries the number of participants reached a new record. All the countries that had debuted at the festival until then participated this year.
Some of the participating broadcasters, such as those representing Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, the Netherlands Antilles, and the United States, selected their entries through their regular national televised competitions. Other broadcasters decided to select their entry internally.[2][3]
Two performing artists had previously represented the same country in previous editions: Rafael José had represented Puerto Rico in 1978,[4] and Moisés Canelo had represented Honduras in 1974.[5] In addition, Carlos Mejía Godoy, representing Nicaragua as a performer with los de Palancagüina, had written "Quincho barrilete", the winning song of the 1977 festival.

Detailed voting results
Each participating broadcaster[b] assembled a national jury located in its respective country. Each jury awarded 5 points its favourite song, 4 points to the second favourite, and then between 3 and 1 points for the third- to fifth-favourite songs, except for the entry representing its own country. Each participating broadcaster had also a delegate present in the hall to stand in for its jury if it was not receiving the event live, or in case of communication failure during the broadcast or voting.
All the countries gave their votes remotely by telephone, except for Bolivia, and the Netherlands Antilles, which used the stand-in delegates. The countries voted in order of participation.[9]
