Junior Songfestival

Junior Songfestival (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈjynijɔr ˈsɔŋfɛstiˌvɑl]; lit.

'Junior Song Festival') is a Dutch televised music competition for children, held annually since 2003.

From 2004 until 2015, the candidates also sang a common song that did not compete, and (with the exception of 2006) the show also consisted of two televised semi-finals.

[3] In 2016, there was no televised show; the entrant for that year's Junior Eurovision Song Contest was selected internally.

[5] The show returned in 2017 with semi-finals, but the finalists sang covers instead of original songs.
