Let the games begin

Not only the songs drew your attention on YouTube. Every year, in the lead up to the event, multiple interviews, games and challenges are recorded with the Junior Eurovision stars. Not only are these fun to take part in, but you can also get to know the artists a bit better.

In Gliwice-Silesia, Viki Gabor from Poland invited the singers from North Macedonia, Ireland, Belarus and Spain to the breakfast table where they tried Polish breakfast dishes while talking about the local dishes from their own countries.

One of the returning challenges for our Junior Eurovision stars is the ‘React to Eurovision’ challenge. Every year, the artists get to see some iconic performances from the Eurovision Song Contest and it turns out that most of the performers are big fans of the Contest!

During the Final, a lot of emotional moments take place backstage. In 2019, our camera crew made sure to capture the first reaction of the artists right after they performed.
