Belgium plans big selection for 2014

Baku, August 25 (AzerTAc). Next year Flemish broadcaster VRT/Eén have big plans for their national selection, breaking from the more modest formats seen in 2010 and 2012. Now candidates are sought to compete to represent Belgium in Denmark in 2014. In 2014, a new and exciting series of programming will be used to select Belgium`s entry for Denmark, which according to VRT/Eén will allow "anyone whoever dreamed of performing on the biggest stage in Europe to give it a try". Candidates for Eurosong 2014, as the national selection is known, must send in a small clip where they perform their own version of a Eurovision Song Contest Song, for example a rock version of Waterloo, an acoustic rendition of Euphoria or an upbeat version of Hold Me Now... Everything is possible! They can choose from 58 years of Eurovision Song Contest history. They don`t have to enter the competition with an original song like used to be the case in the previous editions of Eurosong. Candidates can participate individually or as a group. At the same time, VRT/Eén is on the look out for composers and songwriters wishing to enter their songs into the selection. These do not necessarily need to come from Belgium. In 2014 it is the Flemish broadcaster, VRT, who is responsible for organising Belgium`s entry. In 2012 Iris failed to make it to the final with the song Would You? This year in Malmo francophone broadcaster RTBF sent Roberto Bellarosa with the song Love Kills achieving a respectable 12th place in the Grand Final. The 2014 Eurovision Song Contest will take place on the 6th, 8th and 10th of May in Copenhagen, Herning or Horsens in Denmark, where Belgium will perform in one of the Semi-Finals.
