Belgium in EuroMusic Song Contest 4

Belgium participated in the fourth edition of the EuroMusic Song Contest. Because the VRT was responsible for the previous edition, the RTBF selected an act for this edition.

Selection process
For their fourth participation of Belgium, and the second one of the Walloon broadcaster RTBF, they decided to select their submission internally. It was the first edition that their was a free-language rule. However, they didn't select an English language song, but a French one.

The RTBF presented the song "Mes rêves".

At EuroMusic Song Contest
Belgium was drawn to perform thirteenth, like the previous edition, following The United Kingdom and preceding Portugal.

When the voting was over, it was clear that they finished 16th, out of 17 countries. They received 13 points. It was the first time that Belgium didn't finish in the top 10.

Voting
The voting during the final consisted of 50 percent public televoting and 50 percent from a jury deliberation. The jury consisted of five music industry professionals who were citizens of the country they represent. This jury was asked to judge each contestant based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act. In addition, no member of a national jury could be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently.

Below is a breakdown of points awarded to Belgium and awarded by Belgium in the final.
