Nationaal Songfestival (Dutch:[ˈnɑ(t)ʃoːnaːlˈsɔŋfɛstivɑl]; lit.'National Song Festival') was an annual music competition, which was originally organised by the Dutch public broadcaster Nederlandse Televisie Stichting (NTS), and later by the Nederlandse Omroep Stichting (NOS) and the Televisie Radio Omroep Stichting (TROS). It was staged almost every year between 1956 and 2012 to determine the country's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest. The festival has produced four Eurovision winners and eight top-five placings for the Netherlands at the contest.
Due to declining interest in the competition and the Netherlands' poor performance in the Eurovision Song Contest in the late 2000s and early 2010s, it was decided that the Dutch entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 would be internally selected.[1] As this led to the Netherlands' best Eurovision result in over ten years, Nationaal Songfestival has not been organised since.[2] The children's version of the competition, Junior Songfestival, is still active.
