Before Eurovision

Like the Template:Esccnty, Script error: No such module "Lang". (NTS) held a national final titled Script error: No such module "Lang". with eight songs competing.[1] Initial plans foresaw ten competing entries: In late 1956, NTS asked five composers to submit songs for its national final: Template:Ill, Template:Ill, Melle Weersma, Johnny Steggerda, and Jaap Streefkerk.[2] In addition, the Dutch songwriters association Script error: No such module "Lang". (WTL) held an open selection among its members to submit another five entries.[2][3][4] A total of 140 songs were submitted to WTL.[5] NTS rejected most of the five songs selected by WTL so WTL chose to withdraw its participation altogether.[4][5] Therefore NTS decided to turn to composers Guus Jansen and Jan Mol and asked them to write additional entries.[6]

NTS held the national final at the AVRO Studios in Hilversum on 3 February 1957 at 21:45 CET (20:45 UTC), with a duration of 45 minutes.[7][1][8][9] It was broadcast live on television by NTS, with a deferred broadcast at 23:15 CET on radio Hilversum 2 by KRO.[7][1][10] The final was produced by Piet te Nuyl Jr. and directed by Ben Steggerda.[1] It was hosted by Template:Ill.[11] The entries were sung by Corry Brokken, Hea SuryTemplate:Efn, Template:Ill, and Template:Ill.[1][8] The artists were accompanied by the Metropole Orkest under the musical direction of Dolf van der Linden.[1] The winner was chosen by postcard voting.[1] Viewers had until 10 February 1957 to send in their postcards, giving one vote for a particular song per postcard.[1]

A total of 17,433 postcards were received.[12] The winning song was announced by Piet te Nuyl Jr. on 16 February 1957 during AVRO's Weekendshow on NTS.[7][13][12] The winner was the song "Script error: No such module "Lang"." written by Guus Jansen (music) and Willy van Hemert (lyrics), and sung by Corry Brokken.[12]
