A significant and amazing achievement that lets 'Arcade' join the list of Song Contest classics 44 years after Teach-In came in first.  This victory means that The Netherlands will, once again, have the privilege of hosting the Eurovision Song Contest. The event will be organized in cooperation between NPO, AVROTROS and NOS, each having their own role.
