1 minute read

Poland is returning to the Junior Eurovision Song Contest after a 12 year break from the contest.

Poland is to return to the Junior Eurovision Song Contest this year having last participated in the contest in 2004. Details of a national selection process are still to be confirmed. Poland has traditionally fared poorly in the contest having finished last with just 3 points in both the 2003 and 2004 contest.

Poland is the first country to return to Junior Eurovision since Macedonia and Albania in the 2015 contest in Bulgaria. Poland brings the number of countries confirmed as competing to 10.

Now that poland is back i think other countrys will be back too. The so called 18 countrys of this year in my opinion are:
1. The Netherlands
2. Bulgaria
3. Albania
4. Malta
5. Belarus
6. Ireland
7. Russia
8. Italy
9. Ukraine
10. Poland
11. Armenia ( to be confirmed)
12. Georgia (to be confirmed)
13 San Marino ( to be confirmed)
14 Australia (succes in eurovision)
15. Serbia (succes last contest)
16. Montenegro (to be confirmed)
17. Germany (took 4 years to debut)
18. Spain/France/Belgium (only one off the talked countrys will return most likely France)

FYR Macedonia will withdraw for the same reasons the did last time (last place)

    I hope so! MTV3 have not even expressed any interest, but the possibility for them to participate is 100%
