The OTI Festival 1982 (Spanish: Decimoprimer Gran Premio de la Canción Iberoamericana, Portuguese: Décimo Primeiro Grande Prêmio da Canção Ibero-Americana) was the 11th edition of the OTI Festival, held on 27 November 1982 at the Coliseo Amauta in Lima, Peru, and presented by Humberto Martínez Morosini [es], Zenaida Solís [es], Pepe Ludmir [es], and Silvia Maccera [es]. It was organised by the Organización de Televisión Iberoamericana (OTI) and host broadcaster Panamericana Televisión.

Broadcasters from twenty-one countries participated in the festival. The winner was the song "Puedes contar conmigo" performed by Grupo Unicornio [es] representing Venezuela; with "Ay, ay, amor" by La Pequeña Compañía [es] representing Spain placing second; and "Qué equivocado" by Laura Hevia representing the United States placing third.

Location

Coliseo Amauta, Lima – host venue of the OTI Festival 1982.

The Organización de Televisión Iberoamericana (OTI) designated Panamericana Televisión as the host broadcaster for the 11th edition of the OTI Festival. The broadcaster staged the event in Lima. The venue selected was the Coliseo Amauta, that is the biggest multi-use indoor arena in the country. It was opened in 1946 and has a total capacity for 20,000 people.

Participants

Broadcasters from twenty-one countries participated in this edition of the OTI festival. The OTI members, public or private broadcasters from Spain and twenty Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries of Ibero-America signed up for the festival. From the countries that participated in the previous edition, Paraguay and Portugal withdrew, while Bolivia and the Dominican Republic, returned after missing that festival.[1]

Some of the participating broadcasters, such as those representing Chile, Mexico, and the Netherlands Antilles, selected their entries through their regular national selections. Other broadcasters decided to select their entry internally. Initially, Televisión Española (TVE) had internally selected the song "Buenas noches, papá", written by Luis Gómez-Escolar [es] and Honorio Herrero, and performed by Carmen Pascual, as its entry representing Spain.[2] But because the rules did not allow performers under 18 to participate, the OTI did not allow her to participate, and TVE entered the song that placed second in the internal selection to the festival instead.[3]

Two performing artists had previously represented the same country in previous editions: Félix López had represented El Salvador in 1974, and Ricardo Padilla [es] had represented Costa Rica in 1980.
