Derk in MRSOTY

Derk is a participant of the first cycle of MRSOTY, and has participated 27 times since his debut in 1974.

Derk's debut entry was his only participating song for more than 20 years of the competition. Despite his promising first result, Derk quickly lost interest in MRSOTY and didn't participate again up until 1995, with his 1975 entry getting disqualified. After his return in 1990s, Derk went on to achieve relatively weak results. During the rest of the years of competition, Derk finished last on 7 occasions, with him being second only to Isaccasi in terms of most last places in MRSOTY. Despite that, he managed to appear twice in top 3, achieving 2nd place in 2001 and 3rd place in 2009. Derk remained a consistent participant all the way until 2021, with him getting disqualified in the last edition to date.
