Armenia have this morning confirmed their participation in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2016, Valletta. Taking part in the contest every year since their debut in 2007, Armenia is one of the most successful countries to participate in the contest; never finishing in a result lower than tenth and with six out of their nine attempts finishing within the top three. After their first and only win in 2010, Yerevan hosted the contest the following year. Last year, Michael Varosyan finished in second place with โLoveโ.
So far, twelve countries have formally confirmed participation with another three countries also suggested to have confirmed. Last year 17 countries participated in the contest, and despite multiple withdrawals the EBU hints towards a higher number still for 2016.
Wich 3 cou8ntries have rumours confirmed?
Probably Serbia, Georgia and Sweden.
Probably Spain, UK and Georgia.
Yay! ๐
Hasn’t Serbia confirmed yet also?
Not yet, but if Serbia DOES participate, then whatever entry is chosen COULD lead to Belgrade 2017. ๐
Perfect! Whatever song Armenia chooses this year could lead to Yerevan 2017. Let’s find out! ๐
I guess the rumoured countries are Serbia, Georgia and France. According to the following website Serbia has confirmed already:

I hope so……………
Me too! ๐
Now Junior Eurovision will definitely be alive after this year, even if people don’t like what the EBU changed about it. ๐
If we don’t include Poland, we only need one more country to reach the minimum amount of countries. Then I think France and Poland (officially) return and Georgia confirm, so I predict 14 countries will compete. But I did hope for 12, so EBU can see that they should bring back the old rules, but not cancel the contest
Australia will compete too
I hope your right fishdish, although I predict 16-18 countries to compete. Not so sure if we can count on Sweden and Australia… But yes, the old rules must be brought back!!
Yep. Armenia has confirmed. But there is still a lot of countries waiting to participate.
Georgia
France
Spain
United Kingdom
Germany (debut)
Finland (debut)
Lithuania
Sweden
Australia
Azerbaijan
Hungary
But wait. I thought the maximum amount was 18! ๐ฎ
