Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2006




The Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2006 will be held in Bucharest , Romania on 2 December 2006. It's the fourth Eurovision Song Contest for young singers aged 8 to 15, organised by the Romanian national broadcaster, TVR .
For the first time there is a boycott by the Scandinavian countries. Denmark , Norway and Swedish broadcaster SVT are withdrawing from the contest to stage a Scandinavian contest, like in 2002, in Stockholm , Sweden. However, Sweden will still participate, with commercial Swedish broadcaster TV4 supplying Sweden's entry (this means that Sweden will participate in both contests). According to the EBU , 16 broadcasters have signed a preliminary agreement to participate in the fourth Junior Eurovision Song Contest so far. It's not yet released which countries these are. It is also rumored that the United Kingdom will withdraw.
