The Netherlands will be represented by Kymora, Stefania & Sterre at the 2016 Junior Eurovision Song Contest to be held in Malta later this year. After an audition process it was decided the three girls would fly the Dutch flag this year. Kymora (11), Stefania (13) and Sterre (13) were the three lucky winners from 29 candidates televised on the Junior Songfestival tv show.

The song will be selected later in the year and the girls will work through the summer to perfect their song and staging and presentation.

The selection of the act for Junior Eurovision this year is different than previous years where there were a selection of shows to pick the act and song.
