Georgia in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2024

The participation of Georgia in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest first began at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2007 which took place in Rotterdam, Netherlands. The Georgian Public Broadcaster (GPB), a member organisation of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), have been responsible for the selection process of their participants since their debut. The first representative to participate for the nation at the 2007 contest was Mariam Romelashvili with the song "Odelia Ranuni", which finished in fourth place out of seventeen participating entries, achieving a score of one hundred and sixteen points. Since their debut, Georgia has never missed an edition of the contest. They are the most successful country in the contest, having won a total of four times, namely in 2008, 2011, 2016 and 2024. They hosted the contest for the first time in 2017 at the Olympic Palace in Tbilisi.

History

Georgia's first entry was Mariam Romelashvili with the song "Odelia Ranuni", which finished fourth of 17 entries at the contest in Rotterdam in 2007. Georgia was represented in 2008 by Bzikebi with the song "Bzz..", performed in an imaginary language. The song went on to win the contest, receiving 154 points and a total of eight 12-point votes out of 14 countries, the second-highest proportion of 12 points received by a winner in either Eurovision Contests, just beaten by Anastasiya Petryk in 2012.

In 2011, Georgia won the contest again with the band Candy who performed the song "Candy Music". The song won the competition with 108 points.

At the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2014, Georgia failed to reach the top 10 for the first time: Lizi Pop finished in 11th place with the song "Happy Day". However, the official video of the song uploaded to the contest's official YouTube channel is the second most-viewed video, only behind Roksana Węgiel's "Anyone I Want to Be", counting more than 29 million views as of June 2023.[1]

In 2016, Georgia once again won the contest with the song "Mzeo" performed by Mariam Mamadashvili, making Georgia the first country to win the contest three times. Following this victory, Georgia hosted the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2017 on 26 November at the Olympic Palace in Tbilisi. Helen Kalandadze and Lizi Japaridze hosted the contest.[2][3]

In 2019, Georgia achieved its worst result in the history with Giorgi Rostiashvili's "We Need Love" finishing 14th in the final, which would later be matched by Anastasia and Ranina's entry "Over the Sky" in 2023.

The following year, in 2024, Georgia once again won the contest with the song "To My Mom" performed by Andria Putkaradze, making Georgia the first country to win the contest four times.
