The Home Composed Song Contest (or "HCSC" for short) is a competition for fans of the Eurovision Song Contest who also write their own songs.
HCSC is a competition originally organised under the banner of OGAE, the international fan club of the Eurovision Song Contest. It was founded in 1991 by Morten Boldt Hansen from Denmark, and has grown since then to become an annual event attracting participants from all around Europe.
The aim is simple: to give ESC fans who also write their own songs the opportunity to take part in a Eurovision-style competition, via a dedicated website (and, in the earlier years of the contest, cassettes and CDs) rather than a 3-hour TV show. The main criterion is equally simple: all participants must be amateurs!
