Nederland Nationale Beslissing

Netherlands National Selection for the Europe Song Festival
Before every festival, the Netherlands has to select a song to present. The first set of rules used in the first Nederland Nationale Beslissing was a point-giving system from a set of juries. Fifteen juries from five countries, representing a city, would give 1 point, 2 points and 3 points to the songs they liked. The points would be tallied and the most would be chosen. No selection was held for the first Europe song festival as the artist and song was internally selected based on the Dutch charts at the time.

Europe Song Fesival 2
The first Nederland Nationale Beslissing was held on the 24th March 2019 to select the dutch song and artist for the second Europe song festival. Due to wanting to start out small, the Dutch Delegation choose five songs to put together. They also choose fifteen juries. In no particular order, the juries are: There were originally controversies over this selection. Many were outraged that the Dutch Carribean were not represented and that the states of Friesland and the Dutch parts of Belgium were not represented enough. Many more were outraged over Berlin, Bremen, Frankfurt, Paris and Calais' inclusion because they do not speak dutch or are part of the Netherlands sphere of friendship (BENELUX).
