Before Eurovision
Junior Eurosong 2007
Junior Eurosong 2007 was the national final organised by Vlaamse Radio- en Televisieomroeporganisatie (VRT) to select its entry for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2007.
Format
The format of the competition consisted of three shows: one quarter-final, one semi-final and a final. All shows were hosted by Ben Roelants.
Results during the quarter-final and the semi-final shows were determined by the three-member jury panel and votes from the public. In the quarter-final, the songs first faced a public televote where the top five entries qualified. The jury then selected an additional qualifier from the remaining entries to proceed in the competition. In the semi-final, the songs first faced a public televote where the top three entries qualified. The jury then selected an additional qualifier from the remaining entries to proceed in the competition. In the final, public televoting exclusively determined the winner.[citation needed]
The jury participated in each show by providing feedback to the competing artists and selecting entries to advance in the competition. The panel consists of:[1]
- Karen Damen
- Stijn Kolacny
- Heidi Lenaerts
