The voting
The voting will follow the model used in the Senior Eurovision Song Contest, with combined jury and televotes initially awarding participants from 1 to 8 points, before 10 points and the maximum 12 points go to the favourite songs of the participating countries.
Online voting is also available this year for international fans. During the televoting period, viewers of the junioreurovision.tv webcast will be directed to a page where they can cast their vote. These votes will have no influence on the televoting results but a special ‘Online Award’ will be presented to the winner at the press conference after the Final.
