vlakids

Vlakids, short for "Vlaamse Kinderjury," is a Dutch-language children's jury that selects the Belgian entry for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest. The jury is composed of children aged between 10 and 14, who are selected through a casting process. The goal of Vlakids is to represent the interests and tastes of young Belgian children in the international competition. The jury members are responsible for evaluating the entries based on criteria such as creativity, originality, and entertainment value. The winning song is then chosen through a combination of jury voting and public televoting. Vlakids has been an integral part of the Belgian selection process for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest since its inception in 2003. The jury has helped to promote Belgian culture and music on an international stage, while also providing a platform for young talent to showcase their skills.
