The aim of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest is to promote young talent in the popular music sector, by encouraging competition among child performers. All contestants must be 10 to 15 years old on the day of the contest.
Unlike the main Eurovision Song Contest, the country to have won the Junior Eurovision Song Contest does not automatically host the next show.
