Georgia at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest
Georgia debuted at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2007 which took place in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Their debut entry, “Odelia Ranuni” by Mariam Romelashvili finished in 4th, with 116 points. They have since competed every year and are arguably the most successful country in the contest. Georgia have won the contest three times (in 2008, 2011 and 2016).
Following their most recent victory in 2016, they hosted the 2017 contest. This marked the first time a Eurovision-adjacent contest has been hosted on Georgian soil. Last year, they were represented by Tamar Edilashvili with “Your Voice”, finishing in 8th place. Will Georgi bring Georgia another top 10 JESC finish? We will find out on November 24th.
