Meadow has been announced as the winner of Junior Songfestival 2025. Her song “Freeze” earned her the top prize in Saturday’s national final, securing the opportunity to represent the Netherlands at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest.
How Meadow won
The final of Junior Songfestival took place at Rotterdam Ahoy, where Meadow competed against three other acts. Performances were judged through a combination of votes from a professional jury (Hannah Mae, Billy Dans, SERA), a kids’ jury (Stay Tuned and Veronika, who placed second last year), and the audience. Meadow scored the highest across all voting groups.
Meadow’s Reaction & What’s Next
Overwhelmed by the win, Meadow said, “I can’t believe it, this is really a dream come true.” She added that she enjoyed every moment of the competition and plans to give her best performance on the bigger stage in Georgia.
The final show was hosted by Stefania Liberakakis and Matheu Hinzen.
The Netherlands’ Junior Eurovision journey
The Netherlands has participated in every edition of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest since its inception, first taking part in 2003. The country’s first entry came in the form of Roel, singing “Mijn ogen zeggen alles”. At the close of voting, the Netherlands finished in 11th place, earning 23 points. Since then, the Netherlands have taken part in another 19 times, earning one victory in 2009 with Ralf Mackenbach singing “Click-Clack”.
In 2024, the quartet Stay Tuned represented the Netherlands in Madrid. Their song “Music” received 34 points from the jury and 57 from the televote, placing tenth overall.
