Georgia competed in and won the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Madrid, Spain with the song "To My Mom". For the seventh year in a row, the children's talent show Ranina was used to choose Georgia's representative. [1] [2]
Prior to the 2024 contest, Georgia have participated in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest sixteen times since its debut in 2007, [3] having never missed a contest since then. Georgia is also the most successful country in the competition, with three victories in 2008, 2011 and 2016. [4]
In 2023, Anastasia Vasadze was selected to represent the country following her victory in the sixth season of Ranina, however it was later announced that she would be joined on stage by fellow Ranina finalists Nikoloz Kharati and Oto Bazerashvili, marking the first time Georgia was not represented by a soloist since 2015. [5] [6] The trio sang the song "Over the Sky", which ended up in 14th place out of 16 entries with 74 points. [7]
For the seventh year in a row, Georgia used an original children's talent show format, Ranina (Georgian :რანინა), as the selection method for their artist. GPB opened applications on 28 November 2023 [8] and held castings in December to select the contestants. [9] The final list of artists was revealed on 1 January 2024 on the official Facebook page of Ranina, publishing ten videos where the family of the contestants broke the news to them on New Year's Eve. [10]
Classical pianist Datuna Aladashvili was the main host of the seventh season of Ranina, a role that he has held since the first season. [11] During the shows, former contestant [12] Vache Ghviniashvili joined him at the studio. [13]
The format of Ranina remains unchanged from previous seasons, as all ten contestants compete across four thematic tours in the main round, where they perform accompanied by a live orchestra and famous singers or bands from Georgia. Each tour is divided in two episodes. Each time that they perform, the artists are rated by a three-member jury, who can award up to ten points to each artist in four categories: vocals, performance, artistry and involvement. All the scores are added up and, at the end of the fourth tour, the five artists with the highest scores advance to the semi-final. In the semi-final, the five artists are rated by the jury following the same system to select three finalists. The winner of the final was also chosen by a three-member jury. [14]
Every episode of the main round was broadcast on the First Channel of Georgia on Saturdays at 21:30 GET. [15] As for the two final episodes, GPB broadcast them on the weekend of 25 and 26 May 2024 at 22:00 and 21:30 GET, setting the final to coincide with Georgian Independence Day. The two final episodes were also broadcast on Georgian Radio, alongside the regular broadcasts on the First Channel. [16]

The Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2024 took place at Caja Mágica in Madrid, Spain on 16 November 2024. Georgia performed 9th, following Poland and preceding Spain. [36]
The same voting system that was introduced in the 2017 edition will be used, where the results will be determined by 50% online voting and 50% jury voting. Every country has a national jury that consists of three music industry professionals and two children aged between 10 and 15 who are citizens of the country they represent. The rankings of those jurors are combined to make an overall top ten. [37]
The online voting consists of two phases. The first phase of the online voting will begin on 15 November 2024 when a recap of all the rehearsal performances is shown on the contest's website Junioreurovision.tv before the viewers can vote. After this, voters will also have the option to watch longer one-minute clips from each participant's rehearsal. This first round of voting will end on 16 November at 17:59 CET. The second phase of the online voting will take place during the live show and begin right after the last performance and will be open for 15 minutes. International viewers will be able vote for three songs. [38] They will also be able to vote for their own country's song. These votes will then be turned into points which will be determined by the percentage of votes received. For example, if a song receives 10% of the votes, it will receive 10% of the available points.
At the end of the show, Georgia received 180 points from juries and 59 points from online voting, winning the contest. This was Georgia's 4th victory, following their wins in 2008, 2011 and 2016, becoming the country with the most wins in the contest's history.
