Before Junior Eurovision

Dječja Pjesma Eurovizije 2005

Dječja Pjesma Eurovizije 2005 was the third edition of the Croatian national selection, which selected Croatia's entry for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2005.

Competing entries

Artists and composers were able to submit their entries to the broadcaster. An expert committee consisting of Nensi Atanasov, Helena Bastić, Davor Gobac, Željen Klašterka, Mladen Kušec, Marin Margitić and Nika Turković selected ten artists and songs for the competition from the received submissions.[2][3]

Final

The final took place on 3 July 2005 at HRT's Anton Marti Studio, hosted by Iva Sulentić and Robert Bošković. The winner was determined by regional televoting. For the first time in the history of Croatia's Junior Eurovision selection, the orchestra was dropped and the finalists sang to pre-recorded instrumentation, but were accompanied by in-studio backup singers.[4][1]
