The Armenian national broadcaster has revealed the ten singers who will be competing to represent Armenia at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2019. The ten performers competing in Depi Mankakan Evratesil on September 15th are:
- Anishok – “Selfie Yerevan“
- Ani Atayan – “Every Time“
- Anahit Arakelyan – “Chem Handznvi” (I won’t give up)
- Vardan Margaryan – “La La La“

This is the second year in a row that Depi Mankakan Evratesil has been used to select the Armenian representative for Junior Eurovision. From 2015, Armenia had internally selected their Junior Eurovision entry, but they have used a national final called Junior Eurosong to select their entries from 2008-2014.
Last year Depi Mankakan Evratesil was used for the first time, which saw ten finalists sing for their chance to represent their country in Minsk. In the end L.E.V.O.N came out on top, who went on to place 9th at the contest, their worst entry to date.

Armenia debuted in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2007, and have had 10 entries to date. The country is one of the most successful in the history of the contest, placing in the top 3 on 7 occasions, and winning once in 2010. Their victory came from Vladimir Arzumanyan with his song “Mama”, which received 120 points. Armenia then went on to host the contest on home soil in Yerevan in 2011. Their debut was almost as successful, as Arevik and her song “Erazanq” was just 1 point off the winning score.
