Three years… it passed like a few days. The moment I registered the domain name esctoday.com is still fresh on my memory. It's a pleasant thought, which I will cherish for the rest of my life. Might sound strange, for just a domain name.

But I realize very well that esctoday.com is a lot more than a domain name. It's a co-operation of more than 30 people from 17 countries worldwide, which makes esctoday.com a unique project on the web. It's a place on the internet where thousands of people come to share their common interest: music, the Eurovision Song Contest! It's a place where artists, broadcaster representatives and former participants come to stay up-to-date on the latest Eurovision Song Contest news. It's a place where our partner websites share their information.

Looking back on three years esctoday.com I am proud on what we can offer you today. I also realize very well that esctoday.com wouldn't be such a success without the continuing support of our visitors, without the endless patience of the team members. It would definitely not be the same without the technical support of Danny and Wouter, not without the partner sites, not without the outstanding support of the EBU and several European broadcasters, our sponsors… To say it with other words: I am damn proud on all of you!
