HI, my name is Hans, (60th birthday last week) am from the Netherlands, Eurovisionfan ever since my parents allowed me to watch at 7 (a year we also won with Lenny Kuhr as one of 4 winners).
Since 2002 I organize the ISF-Asia, "International Song Festival - Asia" an online festival for music in native language (with one year English allowed for all).
The festival ran from 2002-2012, and came back in 2021 with the Philippines "Alamat - Kasmala" as winner.
I loved and still love the old ways: national languages, live orchestra, but for 2022 I must say I think many songs are eligable to win.
Thanks to our first sponsoring in 2021 last year's winner earned a small amount of $500 and an award, and this year the winner will receive $1000.
We're busy in the process to build a website - which we never had - and we will try to add as much info on it's history as possible.
We also arranged that past winners all will receive an award! (Would suggest EBU to do the same for Celine Dion).
My greatest memory of Eurovision: in 1988 I was part of the Dutch jury, and I still think we chose well (sorry for Scott Fitzgerald) (anyone who want to know how come that we didn't had points for the UK, ask me....). We actually had two tied results Ireland and Norway / Turkey and UK.....
