GPB has released details about the postcards that will be shown before each entry at this year’s Junior Eurovision Song Contest in Tblisi.
Zaza Orashvili and his crew have been given the task of creating each of the postcards. They will shoot the postcards in different regions of Georgia to introduce the country, its people and its cultural diversity to a wider European audience. Orashvili has stated that the aim of the postcards is to “show the viewer at home the beauty and the treasures of Georgia.”
The postcard will be shot from the point of view of a Georgian person travelling to a destination where they meet another character to collect a Georgian artefact to give to participating contestants coming to celebrate music from all over Europe.
The first phase of the production has been successfully completed in the Imereti and Adjara regions. The crew is currently working in the Svaneti region.
Famous Georgians will participate in these videos, alongside other everyday Georgians. The opening video for the live is planned to feature Mariam Mamadashvili, the winner of the Junior Eurovision 2016, as she will also will take part in the live show on November 26th.
GPB will also be revealing the interval acts, stage design, and hosts for the show within the next few weeks.

That’s great. However, I’m still waiting for Bulgaria to confirm participation. If so, I’m really hoping for them to send this girl to Tbilisi. Her name is Sesil, and she participated in Slavianski Bazaar last month.

I was in Zlawanskii Bazaar and heard her live. It was wonderful!!!
I will be very angry if Bulgaria doesn’t confirm and I also hope that they will confirm ESC 2018 participation soon!
Me too! Bulgarians shouldn’t be left out! 🙁
Bulgaria is my favorite country in both ESC and Jess! 🙂 so I will be devastated if this happens 🙁
**I meant JESC
