Edition number - 18
Date - February 1-3, 1968
Location - San Remo Casino
Hosts - Pippo Baudo / Luisa Rivelli
Artistic director - Gianni Ravera
Musical director - none / orchestra brought together by the organisation and put at the disposal of the various entrants with their own musical directors
Number of entries - 24 (played in two different arrangements)
Winning entry - 'Canzone per te' Sergio Endrigo / Roberto Carlos
Winning songwriters - Sergio Endrigo / Sergio Bardotti
Winning conductors - Giancarlo Chiaramello / Renato Angiolini

Note 1 - Guido Lamorgese and Henghel Gualdi are officially credited as conductors, but did not conduct the festival orchestra; instead, they each brought their own combo of musicians with which they accompanied their respective artists on stage.

Note 2 - For the first time in the history of the festival, two entries were performed without orchestral accompaniment, but instead relied on the backing band brought by the respective artists; they are given below under the heading 'no orchestral accompaniment'.

Giancarlo Chiaramello, seen here as a conductor in the 1968 San Remo Festival, followed Sergio Endrigo to the Eurovision Song Contest in London after his San Remo win in 1968
