HCSC is the friendly competition for Eurovision fans who write their own songs for fun, and this is the 32nd annual edition.

The 2023 event will be organised by Eoin Jackson from Ireland with the participation of last year’s winner, Gunnar B. Ingebrigtsen from Norway, and technical support from Martin Faulkner of the HCSC Organising Committee.

Appropriately, the logo for HCSC 2023 incorporates the blue and white colours of the flags of Waterford and Lillehammer, the home cities of Eoin and Gunnar.

If you want to chat with the organisers and the other competitors, we highly recommend joining the HCSC Facebook group.

The deadline for entries to be submitted is 30 September 2023, voting will take place in October, and the final results show will be revealed on YouTube on 11 November 2023.

In the meantime, happy composing and recording – and we greatly look forward to hearing from you!
