Tbilisi passes baton to Minsk to host Junior Eurovision 2018

27 ноября 2017

Yesterday, millions of viewers watched the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2017 in Tbilisi. Polina Bogusevich from Russia claimed victory.

TV Channels Belarus 1 and Belarus 24 conducted a live broadcast of the contest. For the first time in the history of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, the viewers could vote for their country, and one user could vote from different platforms – from a computer, a tablet, and a phone. But at the most important moment, the webpage of the contest stopped working and many viewers could not vote.

Helena Meraai represented Belarus with the song I Am the One. Helena took the fifth place, despite the fact that on the webpage of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest fans voted for her as the winner.

Nevertheless, the next Junior Eurovision Song Contest will be hosted by Belarus, and the preparations have begun.
