It is now official. GPB confirmed that the eleven-year-old Andria Putkaradze will represent the country in Junior Eurovision 2024.
Andria Putkaradze was declared officially as the Georgian representative one month following Georgia’s participation announcement and two months following the conclusion of Ranina 2024, the national selection process for Junior Eurovision.
Andria Putkaradze competed along with two other young artists in the final of Ranina 2024. Specifically, the artists competing in Ranina 2024 were the following:
All three artists performed covers of patriotic songs composed by Gogi Dolidze, as the day of Ranina’s final collided with the Georgian Independence Day.
The winner was crowned after the decision of a three member professional jury who selected the Georgian representative based on four criteria: vocals, performance, artistry and collaboration. Meanwhile the exact result has not yet been revealed.
Andria Putkaradze is the successor of Anastasia and Ranina, who represented Georgia last year with their song “Over The Sky”.
The 22nd edition of Junior Eurovision Song Contest will be held on November 16 in Madrid, Spain, following the country’s second-place finish last year and the refusal of the winning country, France, to host for the second year in a row.

In less than five months from today, the 22nd Junior Eurovision Song Contest will take place in Madrid. According to a BBC journalist, Adrian Bradley, the United Kingdom will withdraw from the Junior Eurovision contest due to low viewership. But another country will fill the void, and according to our exclusive information it will be ready to announce its grand return in a few days!

The Steering Group for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2024 visited Madrid to supervise the competition’s preparations, which will be held in the Spanish capital, as seen in pictures posted on social media by Alexandra Redde-Amiel, the head of France’s delegation in both Eurovision and Junior Eurovision. The notable thing, though, is that Martin Österdahl—who serves as Junior Eurovision’s Executive Supervisor to this day—is conspicuously absent from the pictures.

The aforementioned development supports the rumor that the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) is seeking to remove Martin Österdahl from his position due to his poor handling of this year’s Eurovision and crisis that emerged, which brought about an abundance of negative publicity to the competition. This was also evident during the live broadcast of the Final, when he was the target of numerous and strong criticism as well as booing from the audience.
The 22nd Junior Eurovision Song Contest will take place in Caja Mágica, Madrid on November 16, following France’s refusal to host the contest for the third time in four years.
