The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and Georgian Public Broadcaster (GPB) have officially announced that Tbilisi, Georgia, will be the proud host of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2025, set to take place on Saturday, 13 December.
This marks Georgia’s second time hosting the competition, following a memorable edition in 2017. Their latest win came just last year in Madrid, when Andria Putkaradze captured hearts across Europe with his touching song To My Mom.

“We can’t wait to return to Georgia, a nation that’s profoundly passionate about the Junior Eurovision Song Contest.

Meanwhile, Georgia’s Head of Delegation, Natia Mshvenieradze, looked ahead with high hopes:
“The 2017 edition was an unforgettable journey. Eight years on, and we aim to surpass that success by creating an even more spectacular event that will resonate for years to come.”
