Eurochanson

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.
