This afternoon the traditional running order draw took place in Paris for the 2021 Junior Eurovision Song Contest. Unfortunately due to health & safety concerns, the full Opening Ceremony has not taken place.
Who’s performing first and last?
As is traditional for the Junior contest, a draw takes place during the opening ceremony to determine which country will perform first and last. In addition, the position for host nation France was determined. You can see the results of this draw below:
| 1st | 🇩🇪 Germany |
| 13th | 🇫🇷 France |
| 19th | 🇵🇹 Portugal |
The producers of the contest will then determine the rest of the running order. Based on previous years, it is expected this will be announced later this evening. Stay tuned!
