AVROTROS are very proud of what S10 has achieved in Turin, an 11th place! And they wanna keep that good vibe going: the search for the 2023 entry has already started!
Right this Monday they announced they are open to submissions that will, as usual, will be evaluated by a selection committee. But what is it that selection committee is looking for?
Well, in their own words:
The selection committee aims for an entry with preferably a contemporary, but in any case authentic sound. A song that is able to survive in a competition. By a Dutch artist who can and wants to present a personal song in a distinctive way, in any genre, and if possible a personal story.
They go on to give certain terms and conditions regarding the whole process:
- Song is convincingly distinctive and meets the above description
- More than one song? Send a maximum of the 3 best songs, considered convincingly fitting for the Eurovision Song Contest
- Song has not been (commercially) released before 1 September 2022
- Song lasts up to 03:00 minutes
- Final date of submission is 31st August 2022
This process will be supervised by Head of Delegation of the Netherlands: Lars Lourenco.
Questions, and more importantly, potential entries, can be sent to the following email address: songfestival@avrotros.nl
More information, in both Dutch and English, can be found here.
