San Marino in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest

2025 will mark the fifth time San Marino has competed at Junior Eurovision.

The micro-state made its debut in 2013 with Michele Perniola performing O-o-O Sole intorno a me. He finished tenth, which remains San Marino's best placing at the contest. Michele is presently the only lead male vocalist to represent San Marino at Junior Eurovision.

San Marino competed in the 2014 and 2015 contests, and were represented by The Peppermints and Kamilla Ismailova respectively, before taking a hiatus from Junior Eurovision.

The country returned last year and were represented by Idols SM, a girl group who all hailed from San Marino. Their song Come noi finished last.

Martina Crv will be hoping to improve on the result by Idols SM in December.
