03  Cyprus Theodora Rafti was chosen from 29 entries submitted to CyBC on 12th of September. Her entry was presented on TV in Ora Kyprou (Cypriot Time) program on September 15th.
04  Belarus Belteleradiocompany was responsible for selecting a performer and song for the contest on behalf of Belarus as a member of the EBU, the organizer of the event. It was owing to the young talent show Constellation of Hopes shown on the Belarusian television that it was possible to select the most promising and aspiring young artist – Volha Satsuk.
The terms and conditions of the Eurovision children’s contest are quite complicated because participating states are not only to furbish a singer, but also to have him/her sing …another child’s song! It means whoever writes this song is not a professional aged under 15.
“We had our difficulties there quite obviously. It is one thing to book a solid professional to write a song, but finding a peer capable of putting together nice lyrics was a pretty tall order, – Executive Producer L.A.Borodina says. – We are lucky to have a TV contest Constellation of Hopes which gives us the opportunity to select from among talented and versatile kids. One of the participants who could be nominated to the Eurovision contest was Katsiaryna Lipouskaya from the village of Kozlovichi, Slutsk District, who sang her own song. But she has turned 16 this October and the country is always better off presenting someone younger than that…”.
The rules of the Junior Contest are fairly democratic and considerate to child composers. Both a composer and performer have been invited to Copenhagen. Katsiaryna Lipouskaya was also on stage.
