Malta’s Junior Eurovision journey
In 2003, Malta was one of the countries to participate in the inaugural edition of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest with Sarah Harrison and the song “Like A Star”, which placed 7th. The Mediterranean nation participated until 2010, where it took a break and returned in 2013 with Gaia Cauchi and “The Start”, which was their first win in the competition. It wasn’t long until they achieved their second win in 2015, where Destiny Chukunyere won with her song “Not My Soul”. Destiny went on to represent Malta at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2021 with “Je Me Casse”, where she placed seventh.
Ramires Sciberras represented Malta in 2024 with his song “Stilla ċkejkna”. This was Malta’s first-ever Junior Eurovision entry in the Maltese language. Ramires did his language proud, placing fifth out of a total of seventeen, and receiving 153 points – 74 from the jury and 79 from the online vote.
