Georgia in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest

Georgia will take part in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2020,[1] planned to be hosted in Poland by TVP in late 2020.[2]

Background

Prior to the 2020 contest, Georgia had participated in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest twelve times since its debut in 2007,[3] and since then they have never missed a single contest. Georgia is also the most successful country in the competition, with three victories in 2008, 2011 and 2016.[4] In the 2019 contest, Giorgi Rostiashvili carried the Georgian flag to Gliwice Arena's stage with We Need Love following his victory in the second season of Ranina, achieving just the 14th place out of 19 with 69 points.

Before Junior Eurovision

Ranina

For the third year in a row, Georgia will use an original children's talent show format, Ranina (რანინა), as the selection method for their artist. Starting in late March, the show is planned to be around two months long with ten artists.[5] David Aladashvili will be the main host of the show once again, this time joined by Lika Evgenidze as co-host.[6]
