While the UK is still riding high from Sam Ryder\u2019s second place score at this summer\u2019s Eurovision Song Contest<\/a>, and the fact that the country will be hosting next year, it\u2019s time to make a big song and dance for Europe\u2019s young performers with Junior Eurovision 2022.<\/p>\n

The Eurovision spin-off, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, sees singers between the ages of nine and 14 arrive from across the world to show off their singing skills in the hopes of winning the 2022 competition.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s contest takes place in Armenia, after the country\u2019s win last year in Paris. But when does Junior Eurovision take place? And who is representing the UK?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s everything you need to know about Junior Eurovision 2022.<\/p>

What is Junior Eurovision?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Junior Eurovision is exactly what you\u2019d expect it to be \u2013 the Eurovision Song Contest but for young performers from across Europe.<\/p>\n
The competition, which has been organised by the European Broadcasting Union since 2002, allows participants aged between nine and 14 to compete against other countries with an original song.<\/p>\n
Each participating national broadcaster can choose a maximum of six children to represent their country, while contestants are scored by a mix of public and jury vote.<\/p>\n
Over the years, Poland has been the only country to win twice in a row, winning both in 2018 and 2019, while Georgia has emerged the champion the most times with three wins (2008, 2011 and 2016).<\/p>\n
