The Belgian participating broadcaster, Flemish Belgische Radio- en Televisieomroep (BRT), selected its entry through a national final. Benny had previously represented Belgium in the 1959 contest.

Future Belgian entrant Jacques Raymond (1963 and 1971) finished runner-up in the national final.

Before Eurovision

Finale van de Belgische Bijdrage tot het Eurovisiesongfestival

Finale van de Belgische Bijdrage tot het Eurovisiesongfestival was the national final format developed by Flemish broadcaster Belgische Radio- en Televisieomroep (BRT) in order to select the Belgian entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 1961.

Competing entries

BRT opened a submission period for artists and composers to submit their songs. At the close of the deadline, 381 entries were submitted, from which the broadcaster selected 6 for the contest and assigned artists to them. Louis Neefs was assigned to "Bonjour" but was not allowed by his music publisher to sing the song, and Rina Pia [nl] was assigned to "Maandenkrans der liefde" but she didn't like the song and claimed it was "unsingable". Ultimately, they were replaced with Luc Van Hoeselt and Enny Denita [nl].[1][2]

Final

The national final was held on 29 January 1961 at 21:00 CET at the Amerikaans Theater in Brussels and hosted by Aimée De Smet [nl].[1][2] Six songs took part with the winner being chosen by an "expert" jury. It is not known by what system the songs were scored.[2]

At Eurovision

On the night of the final Bob Benny performed 11th in the running order, following Switzerland and preceding Norway.

At the close of the voting "September, gouden roos" had received only 1 point (from Luxembourg), placing Belgium joint last (with Austria) of the 16 competing entries. The Belgian jury split its 10 points between Norway (5), Italy (4) and the United Kingdom (1).[3]

Voting

Every participating broadcaster assembled a jury panel of ten people. Every jury member could give one point to his or her favourite song.

Trivia

  • According to Dutch newspaper Het vrije volk, conductor Francis Bay was not happy that Belgium didn't receive a single point from the Dutch juries, while the French-speaking countries were "forming a block" according to him. He proposed to set up a voting block with the Netherlands and the Scandinavian countries.[5]
