Barbara Dex Award
Vorlage:Use dmy dates The Barbara Dex Award is an annually awarded, fan-voted accolade for the "worst-dressed artists" in the Eurovision Song Contest. It was created by Edwin van Thillo and Rob Paardekam, the founders of Dutch Eurovision fansite The House of Eurovision, in 1997.[1][2] It was named after Belgian singer Barbara Dex, who represented Belgium in the Eurovision Song Contest 1993 with a self-made, semi-transparent dress.[2] According to William Lee Adams of Wiwibloggs, Dex wearing her own costume had her ending up "looking like a lampshade", a feature that eventually led to the award's inception.[2] Debbie Scerri, representing Malta in the 1997 contest, was the first artist to receive the Barbara Dex Award.[3] For the third edition of the award in 1999, The House of Eurovision opted to open to up for a public user vote, unlike the internal selection from the previous two years.[4]
In a January 2006 interview between Dex and ESCToday staff writer Sietse Bakker, Dex stated that there was "nothing wrong" with the Barbara Dex Award.[5] In July 2015, Wiwibloggs held a poll on the "worst-dressed Barbara Dex Award winner", which was won by Guildo Horn, Germany's 1998 Eurovision act.[6] The House of Eurovision shut down in 2016 and the Barbara Dex Award's operations were transferred to Belgian website Songfestival.be and its founder, Jasper Van Biesen.[2] Van Biesen stated that he hoped the ownership transition to broaden the award's reach.[2]
