Eurochanson is an annual music competition organised by Monteregian public broadcaster Société Montérégiènne de Communications et Diffusion (MCBC). It determines the country's representative for the Mapperivison and Linguavision Song Contests, and has been staged every edition for both contests since the November 2016 editions (excluding the 19th and 20th editions of Mappervision). The contest was introduced in November, replacing the former internal selection of Monteregis. Since its introduction, the competition has been one of the most popular television programmes in Monteregis; it is also broadcast on radio and the Internet. The contest was introduced by MCBC, the organisers of the contest, with a different philosophy on the contest used previously.
The festival has produced six top-ten placings for Monteregis at the contest. The winner of the Eurochanson has been chosen by televoting and panels of jurors since its inception. The competition makes a considerable impact on music charts in Estonia and neighbouring countries.
The festival is very well known for its alternative rock and electro-pop songs which make the contest more diverse than other national finals, so it is sometimes referred to as Alternative Melodifestivalen by the media and the Mappervision fans. The introduction of a grand final hosted in DCU Center in Lousestre has attracted substantial tourism to the city and region.
== Rules ==
Most of rules are dictated by those of the Mappervision and Linguavision Song Contests. However, regulations have been introduced by the Monteregian broadcaster. The competition's official rules are released by MCBC early in preparation for each year's Eurochanson, to ensure any changes are noted by songwriters and performers.
There is a limit of six people on stage for each performance. All vocals had to be completely live; human voices are not allowed on backing tracks. Entries usually are not publicly broadcast until the songs are previewed on television. Artists and songwriters were allowed to submit up to three songs each with an exception to this rule for songwriters who participated in songwriting camps organised by the Monteregian Song Academy. Concerning language in Eurochanson Linguavision, the only accepted language was French from the 3rd edition to the 5th edition, and from the 11th edition onwards due to MCBC stating that French is an integral part of Monteregian culture and its entries should be exhibited as so.
The twelve selected songs in the contest are shown to the Monteregian public through two semi-finals. From each semi-final, three acts get through to the final show. The winner is selected through one round of voting in which the winning song is selected through both jury and televoting.
