The Regio Songfestival (Dutch: [ˈreːɣijoː ˈsɔŋfɛstiˌvɑl]; transl. 'Region[al] Song Contest') is a Dutch song competition between regional public broadcasters.[1] Held in its current form since 2023, the format of the competition is loosely based on the Eurovision Song Contest and was first used in 1995 under its original title Het Nederlandse Songfestival (transl. 'the Dutch Song Contest').[2][3][4] Every edition features thirteen original songs that are performed in a live broadcast, each representing a region of the Netherlands. From the competing entries, a winner is determined through a combination of televoting and votes cast by regional juries.

History
editThe format of the competition was first used for the Dutch Song Contest 1995. It was developed by the Regionale Omroep Overleg en Samenwerking (ROOS) – the umbrella organisation of Dutch regional public broadcasters – and the Conamus Foundation to celebrate fifty years of regional public broadcasting in the Netherlands.[5][6] In addition, it served as a substitute for the Nationaal Songfestival, which was not held in 1995.
Despite ambitions for it to become an annual event, the competition was not renewed for a second edition in 1996. In May 2023, twenty-eight years after the 1995 edition, the thirteen regional public broadcasters announced the launch of a reworked version of the format under the name Regio Songfestival.[4][7] The inaugural edition was held on 4 November 2023, with a second edition scheduled to be held in 2024.[8]

Format
editThirteen original songs representing different regions of the Netherlands are performed in a live television show, broadcast simultaneously by all participating broadcasters.[9][10] A "region" as a participant is represented by its regional public broadcaster – one from each of the twelve provinces, with the exception of South Holland, which is represented by two broadcasters: one serving the province's northern subregions (The Hague and surroundings; presented as "West"),[11] and one serving the southern subregions (Rotterdam and surroundings; presented as "Rijnmond").[12][13]
Each participating broadcaster has sole discretion over the process it may employ to select its entry for the contest.[1][10] Entrants are not allowed to have had a Top 40 hit prior to participation, and have to sing in a regional language or dialect or in Dutch.[1][9][14] Regional contests that serve as a broadcaster's selection process include Liet (Omrop Fryslân) and the Drèents Liedtiesfestival (RTV Drenthe).[15][16]
The programme is staged by one of the regions and is broadcast from an auditorium in the selected host city. The winner is determined by a combination of votes cast by regional juries (67%) and a public televote (33%).[9][17][14] Entries cannot receive points from their own regional jury.[9] The participating broadcaster of the winning entry is given the honour of organising the following year's event.[10][18]
2023 edition
editThe first edition of the Regio Songfestival was held on 4 November 2023, beginning at 20:30 CET, and lasted approximately two hours.[19] It was organised by the Netherlands' thirteen regional public broadcasters, with the (financial) support of Buma Cultuur, AVROTROS and the K.F. Hein Fund .[20][21] The show was broadcast on television by all participating broadcasters, as well as AVROTROS on the national television channel NPO 1 Extra.[19][22]

On 2 October 2023, it was revealed that the show would be hosted by Greek-Dutch singer Stefania Liberakakis, alongside RTV Utrecht reporters Riks Ozinga and Bernadette Keizer.[26] RTV Utrecht announced that Liberakakis and Ozinga would be the show's main presenters, while Keizer would serve as the green room host.[26]
