Before Eurovision
Finale Nationale du Concours Eurovision de la Chanson 1995
The Walloon broadcaster, RTBF, was in charge of the Belgian Eurovision entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 1995, held in Dublin, Ireland. The selection was broadcast live at 20:10 CET on RTBF 1 on 12 March 1995 from studio 7 in the RTBF studios and was hosted by Thierry Luthers. Ten songs competed, chosen from 192 submitted entries. The winner was chosen by six regional juries (Brabant, Hainaut, Liège, Luxembourg, Namur, and Brussels), plus a jury consisting of music professionals. All the juries handed out songs in the same way as is done in the Eurovision Song Contest: 12 points to the top song, 10 points to the second top song, then 8 through to 1 points for the rest of the top ten songs.[1][2][3][4]
