Here's your guide to the show!

Let's start with the basics!

When and how can I watch the show?

12 amazing acts, 1 winner

This year, 12 amazing performers are waiting for you to enjoy their music and fall in love with their performances.

The 2020 Contest comprises 9 girls, 2 boys and 1 girl group. The participants are all between the ages of 9 and 14 years old and we can’t wait to see what they’ll bring to the show this year!

Out of the 12 acts, only one will be voted the winner. Just like previous years, the result will be determined by a combination of votes cast by national juries from the participating countries and international viewers online. Each national jury is made up of 3 music industry professionals and 2 children. The online vote and national jury vote both account for 50% of the final result. More on the voting later on!

Spectacular interval acts

Next to our 12 representatives, we'll also see some dazzling interval acts performing at the Contest. Viki Gabor will take her JESC 2019 winning song Superhero back to the Junior Eurovision stage, but don't expect this to be her only performance for the night!

Duncan Laurence will also share his music! Duncan won the Eurovision Song Contest in 2019 with his song Arcade. He will perform together with Polish Junior Eurovision winners Viki Gabor and Roksana Węgiel!

But wait! There's more! Alicja Szemplińska was set to represent Poland at the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 with her song Empires. Unfortunately, Eurovision 2020 was cancelled, but today she will also get to perform her song on the Junior Eurovision stage!

Traditionally at the Junior Eurovision event, the 12 participants perform a Common Song song in the final and this year will be no exception! Viki Gabor wowed us with her performance of this year's Common Song, Move The World, during the Opening Ceremony earlier this week.

Last but not least, we'll also get to see this year's theme presented in a dance act too! Teenage dancers will perform a modern jazz routine that gives special thanks to all the people and professions that help change the world every day.
