This was due to the negative connotation of the award because of its origins of deciding "the worst dressed look" in the contest and a desire to replace it with a more positive accolade.
The award was named after Belgian singer Barbara Dex, who represented Belgium in the Eurovision Song Contest 1993.
William Lee Adams, head editor of the Eurovision Song Contest blog site Wiwibloggs, described her as "looking like a lampshade".
From 1997 to 2018, the award was given to the "worst dressed outfit" as initially decided internally but was open to the public from 1999.
Following an online vote, Songfestival.be announced on 29 April that the new award would be named the "You're a Vision Award" (a word play of "Eurovision"), adding that the new name would serve the purpose of promoting creativity, diversity and positivity in Eurovision onstage fashion.
