Background

Prior to the 2019 Contest, Australia had participated in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest since 2015. On 1 September 2019, it was announced that Jordan Anthony had been internally chosen by the broadcaster to represent Australia.^[1] Rabbone (born 16 December 2004)^[2] had previously, at the age of 14, auditioned for the eighth season of The Voice Australia , where he was mentored by Delta Goodrem and finished in fourth place. His song for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2019 was "We Will Rise".

At Junior Eurovision

During the opening ceremony and the running order draw which both took place on 18 November 2019, Australia was drawn to perform first on 24 November 2019, preceding France.^[3]

Voting

The same voting system that was introduced in the 2017 edition was used, where the results were determined by 50% online voting and 50% jury voting. Every country had a national jury that consisted of three music industry professionals and two children aged between 10 and 15 who were citizens of the country they represented. The rankings of those jurors were combined to make an overall top ten.^[4]

The online voting consisted of two phases. The first phase of the online voting began on 22 November 2019 when a recap of all the rehearsal performances was shown on the contest's website Junioreurovision.tv before the viewers could vote. After this, voters also had the option to watch longer one-minute clips from each participant's rehearsal. This first round of voting ended on Sunday 24 November at 15:59 CET. The second phase of the online voting took place during the live show and began right after the last performance and was open for 15 minutes. International viewers were able vote for a minimum of three and a maximum of five songs.^[5] They were also able to vote for their own country's song. These votes were then turned into points which were determined by the percentage of votes received. For example, if a song received 10% of the votes, it received 10% of the available points.
