Netherlands in the Eurovision Song Contest 1978
The Dutch participating broadcaster, Nederlandse Omroep Stichting (NOS), selected its entry through a national final.Four acts took part performing two songs each and voting was by 10-member juries in the eleven Dutch provinces, with an additional jury made up of ten former Dutch Eurovision participants (Teddy Scholten, Greetje Kauffeld, De Spelbrekers, Conny Vandenbos, Lenny Kuhr, Maggie MacNeal, Getty Kaspers of Teach-In, Sandra Reemer, and Heddy Lester).After a rather confused voting procedure (during which the juries in Gelderland and South Holland originally tried to award more than 10 points apiece), "'t Is OK" emerged the winner by a 12-point margin.[1] On the night of the final Harmony performed 11th in the running order, following Belgium and preceding Turkey.Along with the United Kingdom's Co-Co, Harmony came in for some criticism for their garish and clashing stage costumes.
