Before Eurovision
Eurosong '02
Eurosong '02 was the Belgian national final for choosing the Belgian entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2002.
Format
The selection process involved the staging of five shows; the final on 17 February 2002, plus four semi-finals held during January and early February 2002. All shows were hosted by Bart Peeters at VRT TV Studios in Schelle. The winning song from each semi-final qualified for the final along with the 3 highest scoring runners-up.
In all shows, the results were based on the votes from a seven-member "expert" jury, Radio 2 jury (50% televoting, 50% employees), Radio Donna jury (50% televoting, 50% employees), a European jury from the participating countries in ESC 2002 and televoting. The televote counted for 1/3 of the overall vote, with the other 4 juries counting for 1/6. The members of the "expert" jury are Andrea Croonenberghs, Marcel Vanthilt, Rocco Granata and 4 journalists (of the media stations Radio 2, Donna, TV1 and a European jury).
