Location

Unlike the Eurovision Song Contest, the winning broadcaster of the previous year's Junior Eurovision Song Contest does not automatically receive the right to host the next edition. However, since 2011 (with the exceptions of 2012, 2015, 2018 and 2024) it has become customary for winners to take on hosting duties, and since 2019, the winning broadcaster has had the right of first refusal on hosting the following competition. In 2024, French broadcaster France Télévisions was given this right but ultimately opted out of it. [1]

On 16 November 2024, upon its victory in the 2024 contest, the director of the Georgian Public Broadcaster (GPB), Tinatin Berdzenishvili  [ ka ], stated that the broadcaster would begin talks with the EBU on hosting the 2025 contest, although she stopped short of confirming whether the country would be hosting. [2] [3] [4] GPB announced shortly after the 2024 contest through its official Facebook page that the 2025 edition would be held in the country, [5] but the EBU later denied having selected Georgia as the host country, stating that it would make a decision at a later date. [6]

Provisional list of participating countries

Eligibility for participation in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest requires a national broadcaster with active EBU membership capable of receiving the contest via the Eurovision network and broadcasting it live nationwide. The EBU issues invitations to participate in the contest to all active members.

As of January 2025, broadcasters from the following countries have publicly confirmed their intention to participate in the 2025 contest.

  • Flag of Croatia.svg  Croatia  On 8 November 2024, the Croatian head of delegation for the Eurovision Song Contest, Tomislav Štengl, confirmed that broadcaster HRT was examining a potential return to the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2025, with the winner of The Voice Kids Hrvatska possibly being chosen to participate in the contest. [19] Croatia broadcast the event in 2024 on HRT 2, in a first for the country since 2014. [20] HRT published their financial plan for 2025 in December 2024, mentioning costs for Junior Eurovision at 78,000 Euros. [21] Croatia last took part in 2014.
  • Flag of Lithuania.svg  Lithuania  On 23 November 2023, head of department of the Lithuanian broadcaster LRT, Andrius Korenka, confirmed that they are considering returning to the contest in 2025 if the audience viewing results of the 2023–2024 broadcasts will be adequate. [22] [23] After the final of the 2024 contest, the broadcaster stated that at that point it had not yet decided whether it would organise Lithuania's return to the contest. [24] Lithuania last took part in 2011.
  • Flag of Norway.svg  Norway  On 7 January 2024, Norwegian broadcaster NRK stated that it was considering a return to the contest in 2025, with a national final to be held in such a scenario. [25] Norway last took part in 2005.
  • Flag of Wales (1959-present).svg  Wales  On 16 November 2024, Manw, Wales' 2018 representative, stated that Wales "missed an opportunity" by not taking part in the contest. In response, a spokesperson for Welsh broadcaster S4C stated that the BBC's decision in the summer of 2024 to withdraw from the contest did not give S4C enough time to change its plans, [26] implying that had the BBC announced its decision sooner, S4C would have opted to return in 2024. The broadcaster has not currently commented on its plans for the 2025 contest. Wales last took part in 2019.

Active EBU member broadcasters in Austria, [27] Belgium (Flemish VRT), [28] Czech Republic, [29] Denmark, [30] Estonia, [31] Israel, [32] Latvia [33] and Sweden [34] have confirmed non-participation prior to the announcement of the participants list by the EBU.
