From Dare to Dream to Open Up

Dare to dream! It was the theme of the previous Eurovision Song Contest. Well, we have to go back to the 6th of april 2019. A group of friends were having dinner, awaiting Eurovision in Concert 2019. At the table, we got the idea of a website about the Eurovision Song Contest. Looking for a name, we came up with www.eurovisionuniverse.com.

It has always been my dream to have an international website, containing all the information about the Eurovision Song Contest. I have been attending many Eurovision Song Contests and I work for Eurovision Artists. This Dutch/Belgian organization has a website and a wonderful magazine too. 

Sebastian Hogebrug, Anja Kroeze  and I teamed up to decide what the website would look like, later joined by Tatum den Besten. A lot of hard work followed, and of course it is not done yet. But we are proud to finally be able to open up and show you what we have done so far.

The website is still work in progress. Because of that our archive and some other parts can be slow. We expect this to be solved in about two weeks time. Meanwhile, enjoy what we already achieved.

On behalve of team Eurovision Universe,

Martijn van der Veen

Dutch broadcaster delays decision on participation

The Dutch broadcaster AVROTROS has been allowed to delay their decision about participating in next year’s Eurovision Song Contest. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU), which organizes Eurovision, has given them until at least November 1 to decide. AVROTROS explained that a meeting with the EBU’s leadership has started a positive conversation. To give this conversation a chance, they asked for more time to decide if they will participate. The EBU agreed to this delay, and AVROTROS is thankful for it. The broadcaster started questioning their participation after the EBU disqualified Dutch artist Joost Klein from this year’s Eurovision final in Malmö, Sweden. Klein had an argument with a camerawoman, which led to his disqualification. AVROTROS disagreed with the EBU’s decision. Recently, Swedish authorities closed the case, saying there wasn’t enough evidence. Next year’s Eurovision will take place in May in Basel, Switzerland. The EBU hopes that the Netherlands will take part and plans to announce the list of participating countries by the end of the year. Share
