This year's Junior Eurovision Song Contest is set to take place in
Armenia on Saturday December 3rd at the Karen Demirchyan Sports and
Concert Complex, in Yerevan.
So far, seven countries have publically confirmed their participation
in the contest - Armenia, Belarus, Belgium, Georgia, the Netherlands,
Russia and Ukraine. The first song will be known by Sunday (for Russia)
while the majority will be chosen during national selections after
this summer. The final list of all the participating countries is
expected to be published in late June.
ESCDaily.com has been informed by Sietse Bakker, the newsly appointed
supervisor for the contest about some admendments to the proceedings
this year - one involving the songs in the contest, the other due to
the location of this year's show.
The show will begin at 19.30 CET and end at 21.30 CET, rather than
the usual time of 20.15 - 22.15 CET. This is to accommodate a number
of broadcasters participating in the contest, and due to the fact
Armenia has a three hour time difference to the rest of Europe,
meaning the show will now start at 22.30 local time. This is also a
much more appropriate time for the show's target audience (children
and teenagers).
After a number of songs last year which had large parts of their
songs in English, the songs of this year's contest must be primarily
in an official language of the country it is from. Any English,
or non-official languages must not exceed 25% of the total song lyrics.
Any more than this will not be allowed.
