Junior Eurovision - preview and details

The 2018 Junior Eurovision contest will take place in Minsk, Belarus next Sunday 25 November.

For Australians this will be on the morning of Monday 26 November where you can watch it live on the Junior Eurovision YouTube channel.

If you're not keen to get up that early before work ABC ME will be showing the delayed telecast at 6pm on Monday evening.

Representing Australia will be Jael Wena with the song 'Champion'. Jael will be hoping to do as well as our previous three contestants who have all made the top 10 including Isabella Clarke who finished in 3rd place last year.

The contest also features two debutante nations Kazakhstan (who are outside the EBU) and Wales (who usually compete as part of the United Kingdom).
