AVROTROS’s six-member committee, which will determine their next entry for the Eurovision Song Contest, has met for the first time today. The committee’s role is to assess all of the entries submitted to the Dutch selection process.

The six members of the Dutch Selection Committee are:
- Jacqueline Govaert
- Jaap Reesema
- Carolien Borgers
- Hila Noorzai
- Cornald Maas
- Sander Lantinga
The new Dutch Head of Delegation, Claudia van der Pas will also attend the committee’s meetings but she will not have a vote in determining the Dutch entry.
Submissions are open until Friday, November 22, 2024, at 11:59 PM. Interested artists, composers, lyricists, producers, and record labels can submit their entries via songfestival@avrotros.nl.
