Live auditions to select the Armenian representative for Junior Eurovision 2025 in Tbilisi commence today in Yerevan.
Between August 18 and 24, auditions are being held in Armenia to select their participant for the 23rd edition of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest. The singers who have made it through to the live auditions were selected from all of the submissions received during the open call for participants, which closed earlier this month.
At the live auditions, the participants will be assessed by a jury and a focus group. Together, the jury and the focus group of Armenian and international experts will select the Armenian representative for Junior Eurovision 2025.
The winner of the selection will then work with a creative team to determine their song for the competition in Georgia.

Armenia debuted in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2007, and has had 17 entries to date. The country is one of the most successful in the history of the contest, placing in the top 3 on 10 occasions, and winning twice in 2010 and 2021. Their first victory came from Vladimir Arzumanyan with his song “Mama”, which received 120 points. They won again in 2021 with “Qami Qami” by Maléna. Armenia went on to host the contest on home soil in Yerevan in 2011 and hosted it again in 2022. Their debut was almost as successful, as Arevik and their song “Erazanq” were just 1 point off the winning score.
