This singer’s dream is to travel the world and meet as many people as possible – and taking part in Junior Eurovision will help her to do just that!
ARMENIA: Nare Ghazaryan will be the armenian participant.

FRANCE: Lissandro will sing Oh Maman!
This 13 year old boy sings in 5 languages, is a professional cartoon dubber, and has a love of all things rock and pop, from Elvis Presley, to the American crooners, through to Bruno Mars.
Being on stage is the best way for this jack of all trades to share his passion for singing, and he describes Junior Eurovision as the ‘adventure of a lifetime’.
GEORGIA: Mariam Bigvava sings I BELIEVE
Mariam has been singing since she was very little and it’s long been her ambition to represent Georgia on the Junior Eurovision stage.
Since the age of 7 she has been mastering folk songs and traditional instruments, as she relishes the challenge of learning new music.

This 13 year old already has a good deal of stage experience under her belt, having played Young Fiona in Shrek: The Musical (Belfast) and winning BBC School Soloist of the Year 2022.
ITALY: Chanel Dilecta sings Bla bla bla
Chanel’s studied singing and ballet since the age of 4, along with the piano, modern dance and stage art; all of which has come in handy when competing in international competitions such as TMF (Tour Music Fest) 2021, the Italian Performer Cup (2021) and The Coach Contest.
Chanel’s favourite things are: good music, books, Eurovision, Harry Styles, and baby animals. Who could argue with that?
KAZAKHSTAN: David Charlin sings Jer-Ana (Mother Earth)
The young performer won the televised talent competition Baqytty Bala; the chance to represent Kazakhstan at Junior Eurovision was his reward.
This is great news for David, as competing in Yerevan combines his three favourite things: singing, dancing, and travelling.
MALTA: Gaia Gambuzza sings Diamonds in the skies
This 13 year old started attending sessions at a local performing arts school at the age of 4, which is where she discovered her love of singing.

NETHERLANDS: Luna sings La festa

POLAND: Laura sings To the moon
Last year, the young popstar took part in the Polish edition of The Voice Kids, reaching the final nine stages of the competition.

PORTUGAL: Nicolas Alves sings Anos 70
The young rockstar found success on The Voice Kids in Portugal, gaining notoriety for his version of The Four Season’s Beggin’ – a song recently popularised by Eurovision winners Måneskin.

As the Junior Eurovision Song Contest is returning for its 20th spin around the sun – a never-ending whirl bringing joy and fun to young people – AMPTV have chosen the slogan “Spin The Magic” for the event. The accompanying artwork which will feature throughout the show, and on the Contest’s digital platforms, features an internationally recognized toy: the spinning top. This particular variety of spinning top is unique in Armenian culture; featuring traditional patterns that appear on historical architecture, carpets, and costumes across the Host City of Yerevan. These old-school wooden toys have been given a neon twist – quite literally – to reflect a modern Armenia.(add under it that vid from arm public where is Malena and kids or that logo from anna ohanyan’s insta page)
Exclusive: Check out the sneak peek of the Junior Eurovision 2022 stage Armenian broadcaster AMPTV has revealed a set of renders of the stage our 16 participants will take to on Sunday 11 December. The stage is a creative visual representation of the official artwork. The centre stage is the spinning top surrounded by strings of light that represent the ‘spinning’. These colourful strings are also reflected above the stage and radiate the energy from every single performance. While being minimalist, yet technologically advanced, the stage design offers multiple staging possibilities for all of the performers.(pics from the stage under it…again u can find it Anna ohanyan’s page
