With her song ‘Colours Of Your Dream', Karina Ignatyan will represent Armenia. This is 'Going to Gliwice', our feature counting down to the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2019 on Sunday 24 November in Gliwice-Silesia, Poland.

Of her song, Colours Of Your Dream, Karina explains: "My song is about the dreams that fill our lives with love, joy and happiness. Dreams of becoming someone, doing something, making a difference. I believe the world is a white canvas and we are the ones who paint it with the colours of our dreams. It's all in our hands: if we can dream it - we can do it!"
