Paris to host Junior Eurovision 2021
from the Seine musicale

After Valentina's victory representing France at the last junior Eurovision 2020 in Poland, France Televisions teams will organize the contest in Paris, the city of light, this year.

The 19th Junior Eurovision Song Contest will take place on Sunday, December 19 at the Seine musicale. Opened in 2017, the concert hall is a unique complex in France and Europe.

Located on the Ile Seguin in western Paris, it is now the new musical destination and has a unique cultural facility that aims to bring all music to all audiences. 

The slogan of the contest will be "Imagine". A simple and effective slogan, chosen for several reasons. First of all, for the echoes of Valentina's song that won the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in Warsaw last year. A nod to Valentina and her beautiful and energetic song. But "imagine" is more than that. It is also the ground of creation, of the incitement to dream. It is the playground of the mind to build a better world, a new world. The power to imagine is infinite, especially for children. And it is something we need more than ever today.
So let's imagine together!

Reserved for 9-14 year olds, the contest young talents to promote their music throughout Europe, Central Asia and Australia. In December, France will also celebrate its fifth participation in the contest.
