Bulgaria 2015Junior Eurovision

Where to see tonight’s Junior Eurovision Song Contest

Tonight marks the 13th Junior Eurovision Song Contest and will be taking place in Sofia, Bulgaria.   This year the event is being organised by BNT and on-par with the 2007 contest, 17 countries will compete.

Which countries will take to the stage?

Following on from their guest appearance at this year’s 60th Eurovision Song Contest and gearing up for their return next year, Australia will make their debut on the Junior stage this evening. Also taking part for the very first time is Ireland. After a three year hiatus, Albania have returned alongside FYR Macedonia who did not take part last year.
The full running order for tonight’s performances as well as links to each entry are below:
[table id=3 /] As with the main contest, tonight’s winner will be decided by a 50/50 split amongst televoters and national juries who scored the performances based on last night’s dress rehearsal.  You can read a live report of that rehearsal written by our on-location team here.
