Heroes is the motto of this year’s competition.

The art work also includes splashes using the colors of all the competing countries’ flags.

It’s exciting to be returning to France so soon, to a new host city as well as welcoming a new country (Estonia) to the competition. Our colleagues at France TV have once again put together a great creative team to give us all a spectacular show and make the young artists feel like the Heroes they are.’
