🇳🇱 Luna to represent The Netherlands in the 2022 Junior Eurovision Song Contest

The participants that are competing in this year’s Junior Eurovision Song Contest continue to be revealed. Tonight it was The Netherlands’ turn to select their representative, with Luna being selected with their entry “La Festa”

Four Acts competed for the chance to represent The Netherlands in Yerevan

The Four acts competing performed their respective entry, and the winner was decided three ways, with two juries (Kids & Professional), alongside an online vote, with “Luna” winning the top marks from all three and gaining the right to represent The Netherlands in Yerevan.

The Professional Jury consists of Chantal Janzen who co-hosted the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest Singer/Songwriter Flemming and Singer/Songwriter and Rapper Glen Faria.

The Kids Jury consisted of Priscilla, Shine; both of whom participated at Junior Sonfestival 2021 with their entries “Be Alright” and “A Million Little Things”, alongside Ayana who represented the Netherlands at the 2021 Junior Eurovision Song Contest with “Mata Sugu Aō Ne”.

The Netherlands’ Junior Eurovision Journey

Being one of the countries that participated in the first edition in 2003, The Netherlands is the only country to have competed in every Junior Eurovision Song Contest. They managed to win once in 2009 with Ralf Mackenbach and his entry “Click Clack”, and finished second in 2011 with Rachel and “Teenager”.

In 2021, The Netherlands selected Ayana to represent them in Paris with the song “Mata Sugu Aō Ne”, where they placed 19th with 43 points from the Jury and the Online Vote.
