All you need to do is record yourself dancing to the 20-second snippets of all - or a selection - of your favourite acts and your celebration might be featured in the shows. The snippets can be found in this recap video here:

Eurovision this month: Celebrating the songs, Home Concerts and more!
Posted 30 April 2020 at 18:00 CEST
In Eurovision this month, we look back on what happened in the world of the Eurovision Song Contest over the past month. In April, we saw the first editions of the Eurovision Home Concerts, teamed up with #EurovisionAgain and announced the Eurovision Song Celebration 2020. Read about that, and more, below.
As we now know, the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 wont take place. However, there are many online initiatives taking place over the past couple of weeks as well as in the weeks to come and many of these were announced in April.
Eurovision: Europe Shine A Light
Preparations for Eurovision: Europe Shine A Light, the show created to honour all 41 chosen songs, in a non-competitive format, are in full swing. The show will feature plenty of surprises for fans and viewers at home and will be hosted by Dutch Eurovision presenters Chantal Janzen, Edsilia Rombley (Eurovision 1998 and 2007) and Jan Smit. Eurovision: Europe Shine A Light will be broadcast on 16 May 2020.
