The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and the Georgian Public Broadcaster, GPB, have today confirmed that Georgia will host the 15th Junior Eurovision Song Contest in November 2017. It is the first time that Georgia will host a Eurovision event.

11 year old Mariam Mamadashvili triumphed in November last year in Valletta, with her pitch perfect performance of Mzeo topping the table with 239 points. The EBU and GPB are pleased to reveal that as last year’s winners GPB were given first option to host the 2017 competition, and they have agreed.

Jon Ola Sand, the EBU’s Head of Live Events said; “The EBU are delighted to announce that GPB will be the host broadcaster of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2017. As Georgia has won the JESC the most times we are pleased that we can finally bring Europe’s favourite youth show to a new country that has shown such dedication to the Contest. Last year’s competition showed that JESC is an invaluable platform for public service broadcasters to support their young talent, and we have full confidence that GPB will host another great show this November”.

Eurovision Georgia has won the Contest, which began in 2003, a record three times but this is the first time that the event will be held in the country. Further details concerning dates, venue, tickets and accreditation for the 2017 edition of the competition will be announced in the coming months.

JUNIOR EUROVISION 2015

Today the E B U announced that the 2015 JUNIOR EUROVISION SONG CONTEST will be held in SOFIA, BULGARIA in NOVEMBER. It puzzles me a little that such announcements are made in the high season of ADULT EUROVISION as very few people now pay attention to JUNIOR EUROVISION. So we are just mentioning it but will report more after Vienna. I can also announce that I will be attending it – it will be my first – I am not that much into Junior Eurovision but I have always wanted to go to Bulgaria and this is probably the only way to do it.
