The Event

PBS will organise Junior EuroSong 2008 to select the Maltese entry for the sixth edition of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest - to be held on the 22nd November in Limassol, Cyprus.

Local participants of the Junior EuroSong 2008, aged between 10 and 15 years, may enter the competition with songs written either in Maltese and/or in the English language. Child participants are to be involved in composing/writing their own songs with the active assistance of adults. The children's participation in the composition is essential. The lyrics of the songs, the dance movements (if any), and their clothes, are to respect the young age of the participants and not make the children seen like small adults.
