Spain in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2024

The participation of Spain in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest first began at the inaugural Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2003 which took place in Copenhagen, Denmark. The current Spanish participant broadcaster in the contest is Radiotelevisión Española (RTVE). Spain used a national selection format, broadcasting a show entitled Eurojunior, for their participation at the contests. The first representative to participate for the nation at the 2003 contest was Sergio with the song "Desde el cielo", which finished in second place out of sixteen participating entries, achieving a score of 125 points. Spain did not participate from 2007 to 2018, but returned to the contest in 2019.[1]

History

María Isabel who won for Spain at Junior Eurovision 2004.

Spain is one of the sixteen countries to have made their debut at the inaugural Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2003, which took place on 15 November 2003 at the Forum in Copenhagen, Denmark.[2] Child singer Sergio was the first participant to represent Spain with the song "Desde el cielo",[3] which finished in second place out of sixteen participating entries, achieving a score of 137 points.[4] Spain is one of the most successful countries in the contest, with its first six entrants all finishing in the top 5. The country won in 2004, with "Antes muerta que sencilla" performed by María Isabel, as well as coming second place twice, in both 2003 and 2005. Spanish broadcaster Televisión Española (TVE) did not return after the 2006 contest, stating "the Junior Eurovision promotes stereotypes we do not share".[5]

Since 2013, there were several attempts to manage the return of Spain to the contest. During the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 in Copenhagen, the head of the Spanish delegation, Federico Llano said that Radiotelevisión Española (RTVE) was not planning to participate in the 2014 contest.[6][7] In 2014, it was stated that the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) television committee would discuss the possibility of allowing commercial television channels to participate, in order to negotiate with Spanish private broadcasters to manage the return of Spain to the contest. These attempts did not come to fruition.[8][9][10][11] In 2015, several media outlets reported that RTVE was working on returning to the contest, but, these claims were not confirmed by the broadcaster.[12][13]

On 13 May 2016, EBU Executive Supervisor Jon Ola Sand announced at a press conference that the EBU were in contact with broadcasters from several countries including Spain, so that they would participate in the 2016 contest.[14] On 28 September 2016, however, Spain was not listed as one of the seventeen participating countries in the contest.[15] RTVE returned to the contest in 2019 after a 13-year absence.[1] Their return proved to be successful, with "Marte" by Melani García in 2019 and "Palante" by Soleá in 2020 both reaching third place. Their success, however, could not be repeated with "Reír" by Levi Díaz, who placed 15th, the first time Spain had finished outside the top 10. In 2022, "Señorita" by Carlos Higes placed 6th, bringing Spain back to the top 10 for the first time since 2020. In 2023, "Loviu" by Sandra Valero finished 2nd, giving Spain their best result since 2005.

On 14 February 2024, the EBU and RTVE announced that the latter would host the 2024 contest after previous winners France's France Télévisions opted against hosting. It was the first time that Spain hosted the contest and the first Eurovision event to be held in the country since the Eurovision Song Contest 1969 in Madrid.[16] On 10 May 2024, the EBU and RTVE selected Madrid as the host city for the event.[17]
