 The first Junior Eurovision Song Contest has finished in Copenhagen on November 15, 2003. 10-year-old Volha Satsuk from the town of Kobrin won the fourth place. The First National TV Channel aired the contest live.Belteleradiocompany was responsible for selecting a performer and song for the contest on behalf of Belarus as a member of the EBU, the organizer of the event. It was owing to the young talent show Constellation of Hopes shown on the Belarusian television that it was possible to select the most promising and aspiring young artist - Volha Satsuk. The terms and conditions of the Eurovision children’s contest are quite complicated because participating states are not only to furbish a singer, but also to have him/her sing …another child’s song! It means whoever writes this song is not a professional aged under 15. "We had our difficulties there quite obviously. It is one thing to book a solid professional to write a song, but finding a peer capable of putting together nice lyrics was a pretty tall order, - Executive Producer L.A.Borodina says. - We are lucky to have a TV contest Constellation of Hopes which gives us the opportunity to select from among talented and versatile kids. One of the participants who could be nominated to the Eurovision contest was Katsiaryna Lipouskaya from the village of Kozlovichi, Slutsk District, who sang her own song. But she has turned 16 this October and the country is always better off presenting someone younger than that…". The rules of the Junior Contest are fairly democratic and considerate to child composers. Both a composer and performer have been invited to Copenhagen. Katsiaryna Lipouskaya was also on stage. 16 countries sent their ambitious young performers to Copenhagen. Below is the order of their appearance: 1. Greece 2. Croatia 3. Cyprus 4. Belarus 5. Latvia 6. Macedonia 7. Poland 8. Norway 9. Spain 10. Rumania 11. Belgium 12. Great Britain 13. Denmark 14. Sweden 15. Malta 16. Holland It is noteworthy that Volha Satsuk has held onto the second spot for a long time, but finally slipped down to the fourth with 103 points. The first-place winner is Croatia (134), second-place winner Spain (125) and third-place winner Great Britain (118). The next Junior Eurovision Song Contest-2004 will be held in Manchester (Great Britain) next year. Some of the ethic rules of the 2003 Junior Eurovision Song Contest: This is entertainment for children. The focus is to let children work together to develop camaraderie which goes beyond mere competition. All forms of interaction with the press are controlled by the EBU which sees to it that children stay out of anything liable to spoil their mood or down their spirits or put them in a situation they cannot control. Parents are not allowed at rehearsals. During the dress rehearsal they can remain backstage. Adults are not to have an argument with children present. It is important that children have the winning feeling at all times no matter what. Официальный сайт детского конкурса песни "Евровидение-2003" www.junioreurovision.tv |
