The European Broadcasting Union and the Armenian public broadcaster held a Press Conference at Junior Eurovision 2022. Here is what the they had to say about ticketing, budgeting and the future of Junior Eurovision.

The Junior Eurovision winner traditionally appears as part of following Eurovision Song Contest, but usually in the form of an interview. Ben Robertson argues it would be a far better tradition for the victorious artist to perform their winning song as the ‘grand prize’ of winning Junior Eurovision.

Ben sits down with some of the Eurovision community members and a podcast microphone to talk about Junior Eurovision in general, Yerevan 2022 in particular, and the competitive landscape that our 16 acts and broadcasters find themselves facing.

We ask people both inside and outside the Junior Eurovision bubble to answer the question “Why Junior?”

Sharleen Wright was at Yerevan eleven years ago the last time the country hosted Junior Eurovision. Here she recalls her memories from that time and looks forward to what is the same and different about the little Contest this week as she heads back to Armenia.
