SBS today will screen Eurovision Song Contest Junior 2011, which was held earlier this month in Yerevan, Armenia.

13 countries competed in the contest: Armenia, Belarus, Belgium, Bulgaria, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Moldova, Netherlands, Russia, Sweden, and Ukraine.

Acts for Junior EV must be between 10 and 15 years old, but the songs can be written by adults.

Unlike the “adult” version, a country doesn’t have to be in the European Union -nor even in Europe. Maybe we can send a YTT act next year?

This is the ninth year the event has been held.

1pm Monday on SBS ONE.

  1. A nice touch having an Australian “correspondent” presenting douze points to all acts. Eurovision loves to give a shout out to Australia – they must be just amazed that their contests (both adult and junior) rate a mention and have a fan base here.

  2. “Unlike the “adult” version, a country doesn’t have to be in the European Union -nor even in Europe.” – Both contests require the country to be a member of the EBU though, not the EU or even Europe. It formally used the European Broadcasting Area, however Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia participate but are outside this area.

  3. Crap, I missed this because of the late announcement.

    I know it is your off time, David, but I just wish I had known about it earlier. It would be good if they replayed it, I don’t suppose so, but do you think they would?
