The national broadcaster of Ukraine, NTU, has announced their plans for the 2015 Junior Eurovision selection. Applications are now being accepted between 10 July to 24  July for young singers aged between 10 to 15 years old.

The semi-final will take place in the tv studios of NTU on 25 July. The date of the final will be announced at a later date.

Ukraine were missed a lot by fans at the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest. Hopefully they will be back to participate in 2016 in Stockholm, Sweden. Meanwhile it is the juniors who will take the spotlight and hope to emulate the win by Anastasiya Petryk in 2012 with Nebo.
