16 lande deltager i Junior Eurovision Song Contest, som afholdes den 11. december 2022 i Armeniens hovedstad Yerevan.
Blandt deltagerne i den 20. udgave af JESC er der comeback til Storbritannien, der ikke har deltaget siden 2005. Wales har dog deltaget som selvstændig nation i 2018 og 2019.
Tyskland, Bulgarien, Azerbaijan og Rusland, som deltog i JESC 2021 i Frankrig, er ude af årets udgave af Junior Eurovision.
“We’re delighted to be welcoming talented young artists from 16 countries this year to Yerevan for the 20th Junior Eurovision Song Contest.
It’s exciting to be returning to the Armenian capital for the first time in over a decade to “Spin The Magic” on this special anniversary – and welcoming back the United Kingdom to the competition, our host country for Eurovision 2023.
There’s so much energy, passion and creativity from our colleagues at AMPTV and we can’t wait to see a spectacular show in December”, siger Martin Österdahl, executive supervisor for Junior Eurovision Song Contest.

Slogan: Spin the Magic
Den armenske tv station AMPTV har afsløret årets slogan, som bliver ‘Spin The Magic’ , der symboliseres ved en snurretop.
“It was very important for us to choose a symbol that would reflect the magic of the competition, and the 20th spin of Junior Eurovision that would unite all the children taking part.”
“I am convinced that everyone has fond memories about this toy. While developing the idea, we realised that a lot of countries have spinning tops, each of them unique. This perfectly reflects the values of Junior Eurovision – everyone is united around the idea of magic, music and joy, and at the same time presenting a different song and performance”, siger Hovhannes Movsisyan, CEO for den armenske TV-station.
