Today the second round of rehearsals for this year's Junior Eurovision Song Contest started. First up was Katya from Russia, followed by the contestants from Latvia, Moldova, Armenia, Bulgaria, Lithuania and Ukraine. See below what happened today!

This week young artists from 13 European countries gather in Yerevan for the 9th Junior Eurovision Song Contest, and today they started their rehearsals on stage!

Bulgaria broadcaster BNT, who decided to take part in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest exactly a month ago, has already set the time they'll pick their contestant for Yerevan. Now they also revealed one more exciting fact about it!

Reach for the top! That is the slogan of the 2011 Junior Eurovision Song Contest in Yerevan, Armenia, on 3 December. Host Broadcaster AMPTV also revealed the logo of the upcoming contest - equalizer bars in the shape of a mountain.

Broadcasters from 12 countries have signed up to participate in the 2011 Junior Eurovision Song Contest, which shall take place in Yerevan on 3 December. The Steering Group, which met earlier this week at the EBU headquarters in Geneva, also decided upon several changes.

Weeks ago, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) announced that Armenian public broadcaster AMPTV would host the 2011 Junior Eurovision Song Contest on the 3rd of December in Yerevan. The broadcaster won the right to host the competition by bid. Over the weekend, EBU and AMPTV officials met for the so-called kick-off meeting, during which the newly appointed Host Broadcaster received in-depth information about the organisation of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest.

After a competitive bid procedure, the event's Steering Group elected Public Television Company of Armenia (AMPTV) as Host Broadcaster of the 2011 Junior Eurovision Song Contest. It will be the 9th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest's 'younger brother'. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) announced that today.

As per 1st of January of the new year, Sietse Bakker (26) has been appointed Supervisor of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest. He will combine this new challenge with the job of Event Supervisor of the Eurovision Song Contest.

During the rehearsal weeks all the contestants have their chance to rehearse on stage. But what do the young stars do between rehearsals? Well, we have the answer you've been looking for!

The stage where the 2010 Junior Eurovision Song Contest will take place is starting to take its form. Two constructions (each 11 metres high) that will be the basis of the stage are already being installed in the Minsk Arena. It’ll all be waiting for our young stars in less than two weeks! 

Today, JuniorEurovision.tv has the honour to present the song for UNICEF, A Day Without War, by Dmitry Koldun! But besides that, UNICEF, a partner of the 2010 Junior Eurovision Song Contest, held a masterclass for Belarusian children in Minsk.

The show of this year's Junior Eurovision Song Contest in Minsk will start with a new hit. In the very beginning, two Eurovision event winners, Ksenia Sitnik and Alexander Rybak will open the show with a duet.

Dmitry Koldun, who represented Belarus at the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest, will come again on the stage of a popular contest. However, this time it is the Junior Eurovision Song Contest. Together with the 14 young participants he will sing the song Day Without War.

The Swedish broadcaster, SVT, has made their choice for the 2010 Junior Eurovision Song Contest and have picked their singer for Minsk! It'll be a 13-year-old singer, named Josefine Ridell. Two former Eurovision Song Contest participants help her on the way there.

The organisers of this year’s Junior Eurovision Song Contest, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and Belteleradiocompany (BTRC), have formed a unique partnership with UNICEF for the 2010 edition of the biggest annual children’s music event in Europe.
