In Yerevan, Armenia, the Junior Eurovision moment arrives with bright energy as the competition unfolds on a Sunday afternoon. From 16:00 local time, audiences can tune into TVE on La 1 to catch the performances live. Spain is represented by Carlos Higes, who sings the Latin pop track Señorita, a performance that blends catchy melody with confident stage presence. Unlike the senior edition, Junior Eurovision invites viewers from each participating country to cast their votes for their own national entry, adding a personal touch to the competition and heightening national engagement.
Across the continent and beyond, viewers have two ways to participate in the voting process: free online voting and official digital channels. The voting window opens in the days leading up to the final on the official Junior Eurovision platform JESC.tv, inviting fans to choose their three favorite songs from a lineup that typically features around sixteen candidates. This setup mirrors the excitement of a national selection while maintaining the international flavor of the event.
The voting period closes just before the final rounds begin, and the results are tallied once the performances conclude. The organization tallies recorded votes and converts them into points based on a proportional system. In the end, half of the final score comes from the public vote and the other half from a distinguished professional jury, ensuring a balance between popular appeal and expert assessment.
Participating nations in the current edition include Albania, Armenia, France, Georgia, Ireland, Italy, Kazakhstan, Malta, the Netherlands, North Macedonia, Poland, Portugal, Serbia, Spain, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom. The event is presented and broadcast by European media organizations under the European Broadcasting Union umbrella. The gala of the ceremony features a lineup of hosts and performers, blending music, humor, and cultural exchanges to create a memorable evening for viewers around the world.
For Spain, Carlos Higes is set to appear in the eleventh position, performing the song Señorita. The entry is a collaborative effort that includes Will Taylor, Primoz Poglajen, and Michael James Down. A robust staging is designed to showcase the performance vividly, with a choreography crafted to highlight the energy of the track. The artistic direction is led by an experienced team, with vocal coaching, costume design, and production oversight coordinated to align with the junior edition’s vibrant and family-friendly aesthetic. Together, this team brings a dynamic and polished presentation to the stage, aiming to resonate with audiences across Europe and beyond.
