Junior Eurovision 2024: Five cities in hopes of hosting the contest!

/0 Comments/in , /by

After the announcement that Spain will host Junior Eurovision 2024, five cities have bid to host the contest. According to the spanish media the following countries hope to be the one, that will host JESC 2024:

  • Barcelona
  • Valencia
  • Zaragoza
  • Málaga
  • Granada

The local governments of Barcelona, Málaga and the Valencian Community, have already stated their interest in bidding. RTVE, the national broadcast of Spain is going to meet with teams from all five potential host cities within a few days, in order to discuss each of the bids with production copmanies and choose the most suitable city to host the contest. The final decision will be made subsequently.

How we got to Spain?

Last year’s winner was France with Zoé Clauzure and her song “Coeur”. According to the competition’s rules, the winning country of its edition has the right of the first refusal on hosting the next year’s competition. In France’s case, bearing in mind that it has hosted the event for two times in just three years and the financial burdens due to the hosting of the Olympic Games the summer of 2024, it was not sure whether the country would be able to host again.

Hence, France Télévisions decided to hand over the organisation of the 2024 Junior Eurovision Song Contest. The next country in line was Spain that finished in second place with Sandra Valero and “Loviu”.

As a result, Spain will host the Junior Eurovision for the first time twenty years following its first and only win in the contest.

Until today the countries that have either confirmed their participation or expressed their interest in Junior Eurovision 2024 are:

  • France
  • Ireland
  • Italy
  • the Netherlands
  • North Macedonia
  • Poland
  • Ukraine
  • Spain
