Georgia will compete in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Madrid, Spain. For the seventh year in a row, the children's talent show Ranina will be 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", finishing in 14th place with 74 points. [7]
For the seventh year in a row, Georgia are using 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 is 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 joins 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 will 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 will also be chosen by a three-member jury.
Every episode of the main round was broadcast on the First Channel of Georgia on Saturdays at 21:30 GET. [14] As for the two final episodes, GPB is broadcasting them on the weekend of 25 and 26 May 2024 at 22:00 GET, setting the final to coincide with Georgian Independence Day. The two final episodes are also broadcast on Georgian Radio, alongside the regular broadcasts on the First Channel. [15]
