[7] For the seventh year in a row, Georgia used an original children's talent show format, Ranina (Georgian: რანინა), as the selection method for their artist.
[9] The final list of artists was revealed on 1 January 2024 on the official Facebook page of Ranina, publishing ten videos where the family of the contestants broke the news to them on New Year's Eve.
[13] The format of Ranina remains unchanged from previous seasons, as all ten contestants compete across four thematic tours in the main round, where they perform accompanied by a live orchestra and famous singers or bands from Georgia.
[19][20] The third tour was dedicated to Georgian folklore, as all ten contestants performed traditional songs alongside the ensemble Shavnabada.
[28][23] The broadcast of the second half of the tour, initially set to be on 11 May, was pushed back by a week because of news coverage on the 2024 Georgian protests.
The vocal sextet The Bookmarks made up of six former Ranina contestants Anastasia Garsevanishvili, Barbare Imnadze, Marita Khvedelidze, Kato Chkaureli, Rati Gelovani and Soso Chachua joined the five qualified artists on stage performing songs by the classical composer Meri Davitashvili [ka].
Buka Kartozia, director of The Bookmarks and the person chosen to select the songs in the semi-final, also acted as the rotating juror in the episode next to Evgenidze and Metonidze.
[31] The artists that qualified from the semi-final covered Georgian patriotic songs originally written by the singer Gogi Dolidze, as arranged by the composer Zviad Bolkvadze.
[34] The Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2024 took place at Caja Mágica in Madrid, Spain on 16 November 2024.
The second phase of the online voting will take place during the live show and begin right after the last performance and will be open for 15 minutes.
