Armenia debuted in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2007, and have had 14 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 twice in 2010 and 2021. Their first victory came from Vladimir Arzumanyan with his song “Mama”, which received 120 points. They won again in 2021 with “Qami Qami” by Maléna. Armenia went on to host the contest on home soil in Yerevan in 2011 and will host again in 2022. Their debut was almost as successful, as Arevik and their song “Erazanq” was just 1 point off the winning score.
