Before Eurovision

Eurokids 2005

Eurokids 2005 was the national final for Belgium at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2005, organised by the two Belgian broadcasters: Flemish broadcaster Vlaamse Radio- en Televisieomroep (VRT) and Walloon broadcaster Radio télévision belge de la communauté française (RTBF).

Format

The format of the competition consisted of three shows: two semi-finals and a final. Each broadcaster chose six songs to compete, with the final winner representing Belgium at the contest.[2] From the semi-finals, the best scoring three French speaking and three Dutch speaking participants advanced to the final. In all shows, the results were based on the votes from a four-member adult "expert" jury, a kids jury, a radio jury and televoting. The televote counted for 2/5 of the overall vote, with the other 3 juries counting for 1/5. The "expert" jury consisted of two members from Flanders and another two from Wallonia: Marcel Vanthilt, André Vermeulen, Mélanie Cohl and Viktor Lazlo.
