No return for LTV for Junior Eurovision 2025
Latvia last competed in 2011, and LTV confirmed in a statement to the Eurovision fan blog Eurofestivales that it will not be participating in Junior Eurovision 2025. This will be the fourteenth year that Latvia will not be participating in the competition.
Latvia’s Junior Eurovision Journey
Latvia was among the participants at the inaugural edition of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2003, where Dzintars Čīča represented them with the song “Tu esi vasarā”, and placed 9th. They participated until 2005 when they took a four-year break and returned in 2010. The Baltic nation’s last participation was in 2011, with Amanda Bašmakova and the song “Moondog” which placed 13th.
