Junior Eurovision 2020 is to be held on November 29 in the Polish capital of Warsaw. 13 delegaciones ondearán su bandera en Eurovisión Junior 2020 para celebrar la unión a través de la música. JUNIOR EUROVISION Junior Eurovision 2020: 13 countries to take part EBU has announced that 13 countries will take part in Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2020 – All participants will perform in a studio in their home countries. 8 September 2020. The results of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2019 are determined by a combination of online audience votes and national juries that consist of 3 music industry professionals and 2 children. Given Poland’s fanatical following at the Junior Eurovision contest (3.4 million of the total 11.2 million viewers of the Junior Eurovision 2019 contest were from inside Poland), it was a no brainer for broadcaster Telewizja Polska (TVP) to want to host the 2020 contest. It is also likely according to the national selection rules that the song will mostly be in Irish, even though Ireland qualifies to use English as a native language according to the EBU’s language rules (60% “native” language / 40% “other”).Italian broadcaster Radiotelevisione italiana’s (RAI) Gulp channel confirmed via its Instagram account that Italy would compete at Junior Eurovision 2020. If you readers out there are interested in ESC United giving the Junior version the full press court treatment like we do every year for the adult one, let us know.In the meantime, what is the current state of Junior Eurovision? Each tour is themed, usually around a Georgian artist (Quintessence in 2019) or a Georgian traditional style (such as that of the Georgian polyphonic choir Shavnabada, several of whom were part of Ethno-Jazz band Iriao at Eurovision 2018 and backup performers for Oto Nemsadze at Eurovision 2019).This year, David Aladashvili will replace David Evgenidze as head judge. Aladashvili was also a judge on this season of Georgian Idol, which was won by Tornike Kipiani. Due to the epidemiological situation, the show will be held as a live stream. iCard Eurovision Bulgarian confirmed that “participation in other contests could be possible, but for the moment it’s not under discussion.”.At this stage our priority is the consolidation of our participation at Eurovision as we are already working on our plans for 2021. After the cancellation of Eurovision 2020 and the postponement of Eurovision Young Musicians 2020 due to COVID-19, quite a few eyes turned to the Junior Eurovision contest and its preparations in the ESC United camp.Some ESC United writers are calling for a road trip to Poland in November 2020 as solace for not being able to attend the senior version in Rotterdam. However, prior to Junior Eurovision 2019, German broadcaster Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) announced that they were sending a delegation to the contest to observe.The delegation’s findings have not been made public yet, but for those looking for a well-supported nation to combat Poland from the Western side of Europe, Germany would be a good option. Following Viki Gabor’s victory on home soil in 2019, this will mark TVP’s second consecutive time hosting.To date, the following countries have confirmed participation in the contest:Poland made their debut in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest when the contest began in 2003, in Copenhagen, Denmark. As with the 2019 selection, online voting will open days before the final, and online votes will count for 50% of the score, along with a 50% jury vote.Russia also had a disappointing finish in 2019, coming in 13th with Denberel Oorzhak and Tatyana Mezhentseva’s duet “A Time for Us.” Oorzhak was taken to hospital in Gliwice-Silesia during the rehearsals, so Russia will be looking for better luck at the 2020 edition. The Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2020 will be broadcast live on 29 November and starts at 17:00 CET. If circumstances allow, participation in other contests could be possible but for the moment it's not under discussion.— iCard Eurovision Bulgaria (@bg_eurovision).We will be sure to add more news as we hear it, but for the moment, the preparations for Junior Eurovision 2020 go on, and there will be surprises as we head into the summer and more countries confirm and we get a surprise returnee / debut (and unfortunately sometimes, a dropout).Born in Yorkshire, raised in South Africa, polished in Pittsburgh, and a resident of Los Angeles, James Maude is an economist and data analyst with some side action in Eurovision, Leeds United, The Real Housewives, and death metal. Maar we geven je opmerking door aan de juiste mensen!A Junior Eurovision fan asked the Bulgarian Eurovision Twitter account if a return to Junior Eurovision was on the cards. The stunning production brought the Contest to a new level and we are so happy to be working with the talented team at TVP again this year.”.The host city for 2020 will be Krakow, with the 20,000 seater Tauron Arena the venue. Let’s have a look at a summary of where we are in preparation for Junior Eurovision 2020.Poland made history by being the first ever Junior Eurovision entrant to win two contests in a row when Viki Gabor won Junior Eurovision 2019 with “Superhero,” following Roksana Węgiel’s victory at Junior Eurovision 2018 with “Anyone I Want to Be.”.And this year, they’ll make history again by being the first ever Junior Eurovision country to host the country twice in a row.

After winning the Polish national final for the contest Katarzyna Żurawik represented the nation with the song, “Coś mnie nosi”. And Spanish Head of Delegation Ana Maria Bordas was in a bullish mood after Melani Garcia’s 3rd place finish.She stated that Spain was proud of Garcia’s finish, and that with Spain showing Junior Eurovision on a major channel (rather than relegated to a children’s TV channel or a niche language channel), they have a major leg up under the televoting rules of the Contest and remain confident of top finishes in years to come.Right after Junior Eurovision 2019, the National Public Broadcasting Company of Ukraine (UA:PBC) announced they “hope to return to this hospitable country next year.”.No further details on the selection process (Ukraine held a national selection in 2019), but details should be forthcoming soon.The United Kingdom departed Junior Eurovision in 2005 (despite a much better record than their adult counterparts recently with finishes in 3rd, 2nd, and 14th), and it was only until Wales opted to pick up the mantle and enter on behalf of part of the isles in 2018 and 2019.Of course the question is, would the EBU be up for having two parts of the United Kingdom compete in the same contest at the same time? If he wins, he would be the first returning artist in Junior Eurovision since Lerika (Moldova 2011 and Russia 2012) and the first male returning artist.Since launching Eurovoix in April 2011, it has been a pleasure to find out more about this amazing continent through the Eurovision Family of Events.
