The slogan of Junior Eurovision 2024 has been announced as 'Let's Bloom'. Ana María Bordas, Executive Producer of the contest, explained the reasoning behind the floral theme:

"We have thought of a concept that, taking nature as an example, influences the idea of ​​young artists flourishing towards a future where they can be themselves and express freely in a healthy, safe and diverse way.
