In just one week, the vibrant stage of the 22nd Junior Eurovision Song Contest will come to life at Madrid’s iconic Caja Mágica. Seventeen talented young artists from across Europe will take the stage to compete for the prestigious title, performing in front of millions of viewers worldwide.
As the event draws closer and the first delegations begin arriving in Madrid, preparations at the host venue are reaching their peak. Notably, the construction of the stage has been completed, and the first technical rehearsals for the competing countries are set to begin in the coming days.
In anticipation of the big event, RTVE, the Spanish national broadcaster, has shared a timelapse video showcasing the process of building the spectacular stage. The video offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the transformation of the venue, culminating in a preview of the stage in action as it gets ready to host this year’s Junior Eurovision performances.
With the stage now set and rehearsals about to kick off, the excitement continues to build for what promises to be an unforgettable edition of Junior Eurovision in Madrid.
Seventeen countries will take part in the 22nd edition of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest:
The 22nd edition of the 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. The slogan for this year’s contest is “Let’s Bloom!”, while Ruth Lorenzo, Marc Clotet and Melani Garcia will serve as this year’s hosts.

Spain is preparing to welcome the delegations from the seventeen countries competing in the 22nd Junior Eurovision Song Contest. Although this will be the first time Spain hosts the event, and the first time since 1969 that a Eurovision event is held in the Iberian country, recent developments have forced alterations to the contest’s original planning.
The Junior Eurovision Song Contest traditionally kicks off with the Opening Ceremony, where all participating artists, national delegations, and accredited press are welcomed. However, due to the recent devastation caused by Storm DANA in Spain, the celebratory atmosphere of the event will be toned down.
According to ESCPlus, instead of the usual grand ceremony, this year’s event will feature a simple reception for the artists, which will not be open to the accredited press or the public. For the first time in recent years, the Opening Ceremony will not be broadcast online via the official Junior Eurovision website, JuniorEurovision.tv.
Nevertheless, the importance of the ceremony itself has been reduced this year, as the running order draw for the contest took place earlier, rather than during the Opening Ceremony.
Despite these changes, Spain remains committed to ensuring the safe and successful execution of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest. While the celebrations may be more subdued, the event will continue as planned, and the country looks forward to hosting this important competition, albeit under altered circumstances.

The sixteen contestants hoping to win Benidorm Fest 2025 and represent Spain in the 69th Eurovision Song Contest, will be announced by RTVE in a week from now.
ESCPlus reports that RTVE will reveal the contestants for Benidorm Fest 2025, Spain’s Eurovision contest, at a press conference at the Prado del Rey studios in Madrid on November 7.

The planning for all Benidorm Fest’s shows will be as following:
Meanwhile and in contrast to previous Benidorm Fest editions, the specific outcomes of the semifinals will not be made public during the show. Rather, no additional information will be released other than the names of the finalists, until Benidorm Fest is concluded.
The previous winners of Benidorm Fest and Spain’s representatives in Eurovision 2024 were Nebulossa, with their songs “Zorra” and ended up in 22nd place of the Final.

Spain was one of the first countries to confirm its participation in Eurovision 2025, even before the Grand Final of the contest in Sweden, opening the submission window just a few days later.
The submission window for Benidorm Fest 2025 closed last night. RTVE announced earlier today that it received almost 1,000 songs over the 144 days that the process lasted, with around 300 of those submissions coming in the last 24 hours alone!
This number sets a record for all editions of Benidorm Fest. Around 200 more entries were submitted compared to last year, demonstrating that the festival is becoming increasingly embedded in the Spanish music scene and has grown into one of the biggest platforms for promoting music.

Back in July, RTVE announced that the nine-year-old Chloe DelaRosa will represent the host nation in the 22nd Junior Eurovision Song Contest. Just moments ago, Chloe’s entry titled “Como la Lola” was officially released and uploaded on RTVE’s website.
You can listen to “Como la Lola“, below:
Spain’s selection process for Junior Eurovision 2024 consisted of two phases. During the first phase, a submission window was opened for aspiring young artists. RTVE received around 300 applications, almost three times as many as compared to last year’s corresponding process.
In addition and after the end of the submission period, a casting was held on July 16 in Madrid where a jury of experts evaluated the young talents and made a decision.
Chloe’s song was also selected internally by an RTVE committee. RTVE made a call to songwriters and composers to submit songs suitable for the young artist.
Chloe describes herself as a “cantista”, which is a combination of the words singer and artist in Spanish (cantante and artista). She began performing at the age of three, but it wasn’t until lockdown in 2020 that she started recording.
On social media, she recorded covers of songs by well-known Spanish and Latin American artists, videos that many of them would share on their own social media, and which would go on to become viral, introducing Chloe to audiences all over the world.
Flamenco is the style that best defines her. In 2022, she started participating in major music festivals in Spain and has since released several singles.
