The Home Composed Song Contest 2023 (Part 2):  The annual music competition for non-professional musicians takes place again and is already in full swing. The public and jury already cast their votes as well. Visit the website of the Home Composed Song Contest 2023 - click here

The Home Composed Song Contest is in its 32nd year, this is a competition for Eurovision fans who write, perform and produce their own music, who enter their own original song composition (audio only) and then also take part as a jury, to help choose the winning song. This year there are 27 songs from 13 different European countries, and you can listen to the songs, and read the lyrics and bios on the official website.

The Radio International Team once again formed one Jury and you will be able to hear the songs also on Radio International - The Ultimate Eurovision Experience this and next week as the second hour of each show is devoted to the Home Composed Song Contest 2023. Pretty high standards again this year. Well done to all participants and may the best entry win.
