Overview/About. Following Lissandro’s victory at Junior Eurovision 2022 in Yerevan with the song ‘Oh Maman!’ – France’s second win in three years – France Télévisions will organise the 21st Junior Eurovision Song Contest at the Palais Nikaïa in Nice.
16 countries are expected to participate when the show broadcasts live on Sunday 26 November.
Estonia will be making their debut in the competition this year, while Germany are returning after one year away making this the first Junior Eurovision where all of the so-called ‘Big 5’ (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) are competing together.
Heroes. France Télévisions have chosen ‘Heroes’ as the theme for the event. More than a slogan, it was decided to use a word that inspires and gives children incredible strength and will feature throughout the event.
The accompanying artwork captures the energy of the word ‘Heroes’, with powerful, joyful colours and a ‘street art’ look that brings modernity and speaks to all generations.
Martin Österdahl, Executive Supervisor, for JESC, said: ‘We are delighted to return to France for the 21st Junior Eurovision Song Contest just 2 years after a spectacular hosting in Paris. The team at France Télévisions have the experience, vision, and passion to create something truly magical in Nice this November and we look forward to working with them in the coming months on another exciting show.’
Delphine Ernotte-Cunci, President of France Télévisions and President of the EBU added: ‘France Télévisions is proud to welcome young artists from all over Europe and beyond to celebrate the unifying power of music. I am very happy that this second edition of Junior Eurovision organized by France will be held in Nice, a city of history and culture emblematic of our country. Once again, this year, the Junior Eurovision Song Contest will delight young and old alike, who will follow this festive and popular event at the Palais Nikaïa and on the EBU’s public media channels.’
Alexandra Redde-Amiel, Head of Variety and Entertainment at France Télévisions, said: ‘In 2023, the adventure starts again. What an honour to have the chance to organize and produce the one of the greatest European musical shows once again in France alongside the EBU, all the delegations and all the young artists! The Junior Eurovision Song Contest shows how much cultural and musical power our new generations have in the world. Finally, we are extremely lucky to be welcomed by the City of Nice, the famous and iconic “French Riviera”, with its international aura. We’re incredibly grateful to Mayor Christian Estrosi and his team.’
Christian Estrosi, Mayor of Nice, President of the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolis, President of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur Region added: ‘It is an honour for the City of Nice to host a renowned European competition such as Junior Eurovision, which brings together some 20 participating countries and more than 33 million television viewers. Nice is a unique landscape, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which will be an exceptional setting to showcase the Junior Eurovision candidates. But it’s much more than that. Trusting the City of Nice to host and organize this unique evening in our Palais Nikaïa is proof that we are a European city that organizes world events, especially cultural ones.’

The Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2023 was the 21st edition of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster France Télévisions. The contest took place on 26 November 2023 at the Palais Nikaïa in Nice, France, following the country’s victory at the 2022 contest with the song “Oh Maman !” by Lissandro. This was the second time that France hosted the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, the first being in Paris in 2021.
Sixteen countries participated in the contest, with Estonia participating for the first time and Germany returning after its absence from the previous edition, while Kazakhstan and Serbia did not take part. This was also the first time that all members of the “Big Five” from the Eurovision Song Contest took part in the junior contest together.
France’s Zoé Clauzure was the winner of the contest with the song “Cœur“, making France the second country to win the Junior Eurovision Song Contest twice in a row, after Poland. The result also marked France equaling Georgia’s record for the most Junior Eurovision victories. Spain, Armenia, the United Kingdom and Ukraine completed the top five. Further down the table, Germany achieved its best result to date, while Albania had its second-best result, Georgia tied its worst placement, and Ireland placed last for the first time.
Location. The contest took place at the Palais Nikaïa in Nice, a multi-purpose concert hall, following the country’s victory at the 2022 contest with the song “Oh Maman !” by Lissandro. This was the second time that France hosted the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, the first being in Paris in 2021.
Bidding phase and host city selection. Unlike in the Eurovision Song Contest, the winning country did not receive the automatic rights to host the next contest. However, since 2019, each contest has been hosted by the previous year’s winning country, and since 2011 (with the exceptions of 2012 and 2018), the winning country has had the right of first refusal on hosting the following competition. In 2015, Italy was given the option to host but ultimately opted out of it.
Following France’s win in 2022, French head of delegation Alexandra Redde-Amiel and Director General of France Télévisions Delphine Ernotte revealed that the country wishes to host the contest in 2023. On 3 April 2023, the EBU and France Télévisions announced that the contest would be held in Nice.

Participating countries. On 29 August 2023, the EBU announced that 16 countries would participate in the contest, with Estonia making its debut and Germany returning after a one-year absence, while Kazakhstan and Serbia would not take part.
Prior to the contest, a digital compilation album featuring all the songs from the 2023 contest was put together by the European Broadcasting Union and released by Universal Music on 3 November 2023.

Returning artists. Sophie Lennon, who represented Ireland in 2022, joined Jessica McKean on stage.
Other countries. For a country to be eligible for potential participation in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, with the exception of Australia and Kazakhstan, it needs to be an active member of the EBU. Prior to the announcement of the list of participants by the EBU, active EBU member broadcasters in Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium (VRT and RTBF), Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Israel, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Moldova, Norway, Romania, San Marino, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden and Switzerland, as well as associate members in Australia and Kazakhstan, confirmed they would not participate in the event.
Format.
Production. A new child safety protocol focused on the well-being of the participants was implemented for the 2023 contest. According to the Spanish head of delegation Ana María Bordas, it sought to offer transparency in the competition, and to bring especially Nordic countries, who were critical of child safety in the contest, back to the event.
Visual design. The 2023 contest was the first edition of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest to incorporate the modern Eurovision heart, which has been used in the adult contest since 2015, in its generic logo. The update was revealed during the host city announcement on 3 April 2023.
During a European Broadcasting Union press conference on 10 May 2023 in Liverpool, where the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 was taking place, Alexandra Redde-Amiel, head of the French Eurovision delegation, announced the slogan of the contest, “Heroes”. The accompanying theme art was unveiled on 29 August, which featured a street art look based on splashes of paint, chalk, powder and fireworks that “brings modernity and speaks to all generations”. The stage design, unveiled on 27 September, featured a 12-metre high LED screen in the shape of wings, “reflecting the desire to fly away, create and imagine”.
Presenters. Laury Thilleman, Olivier Minne, and Ophenya were the presenters of the show; Minne had previously co-hosted the 2021 contest. Ophenya, a French influencer, additionally acted as a “digital ambassador”, creating content for Junior Eurovision’s social media channels.
The opening ceremony event, which was held on 20 November at Hotel Negresco, was hosted by Carla Lazzari, France’s representative at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2019, and Manon Théodet. During the ceremony, each delegation was welcomed by Laura Tenoudji and Ophenya, and the draw was carried out, according to tradition. In this ceremony, the draw took place which determined the position of the host country (France) and which country will open and close the show. The ceremony also saw French Junior Eurovision representatives, since the country’s return to the contest in 2018, perform excerpts of their entries.
Postcards. Contestants were featured in “postcard” video introductions, set in different locations in Nice. Each postcard began with a child participating in an activity of their choice and facing a setback that discourages them, before the upcoming performer, standing on top of a building, empowered them to accomplish their task. At the end of each postcard, the children participating in the aforementioned activity creatively recreated the flag of the upcoming performer’s representative country, after which it transitioned to the stage.

Contest overview. The event took place on 26 November 2023 at 16:00 CET. Sixteen countries participated, with the running order published on 20 November. All the countries competing were eligible to vote with the jury vote, as well as participating and non-participating countries under an aggregated international online vote. France won with 228 points, winning both the jury and online vote. Spain came second with 201 points, with Armenia, the United Kingdom and Ukraine completing the top five. North Macedonia, Portugal, Georgia, Estonia and Ireland occupied the bottom five positions.
The opening of the show featured the traditional flag parade, accompanied by a remix of “Makeba”, with all participants performing the common song “Heroes” alongside Florence François and the Shiny Gospel Choir. During the interval, Lissandro performed his winning song “Oh Maman !“. Amir then performed “J’ai cherché“, with which he represented France in the Eurovision Song Contest 2016, and his new single “Il y a“. Following a brief appearance by French pianist and TikTok personality Van Toan, former French Junior Eurovision entrants Angelina, Valentina, Enzo and Lissandro closed the interval with “We Are the World”, in support of the Non-Violence Project.
During the event, there was a technical problem in which the LED screen abruptly shut off during Portugal’s performance; Portugal’s Júlia Machado was offered the chance to perform again, but the Portuguese delegation declined it because her vocal performance was not affected. The official upload of the Portuguese entry on YouTube used footage from the previous evening’s jury show.
