Before Eurovision
Avante-Première Eurovision
La Sélection Belge pour le Concours Eurovision de la Chanson 1968 was the national final format developed by RTB in order to select Belgium's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 1968. The competition was held on 13 February 1968.[1][2]
Competing entries
RTB, in collaboration with SABAM, selected 10 artists to participate in the contest, who each submitted their own song.[1][2]
Final
The final was held on 13 February 1968, in the Studio Mathonet, in Evere, Brussels, from 20:30 to 21:15 CET, and was hosted by Paule Herreman. Ten songs competed in the contest, with the winner being decided upon by regional public juries from 4 Walloon provinces; Brussels, Liège, Mons, and Namur. The four juries each had 10 points which they could hand out to the songs.[1][2]
