  • Notes

    * From at least the 1960s to 2006, Song Contest numbering was off by 2 years. The 1996 Contest was billed as the "74th Annual", but because the first Song Contest was held in 1921, it should have been the 76th. The numbering was eventually corrected in 2007, and Hoʻokūkū Hīmeni has retroactively applied these corrections to past contests. However, you will see the old, incorrect numbering used in Song Contest publicity materials until 2006.
