 Since 2005 Belgium has failed to appear in any final of the Contest.Belgium is represented by two broadcasters at the contest (Radio télévision belge de la communauté française (RTBF) and Vlaamse Radio- en Televisieomroep (VRT)), each taking turns sending entries to the contest; RTBF is French-speaking, while VRT is Dutch-speaking (Flemish).All entries prior to 1999 except for 1977, where sung in either French or Dutch, but Belgium has never sent a representative singing in German, its third official language.
