Junior Eurovision Song Contest
◄2012 • 2013 • 2014►

The Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2013 was the 11th annual Junior Eurovision Song Contest. It took place in Kiev, Ukraine on 30 November 2013.[1][8] The venue for the contest was announced on 10 April 2013, as the Palace "Ukraine".[9] Ukrainian broadcaster NTU was the host broadcaster for the event.[8] It was the second time the contest was held in Kiev, the first being the 2009 Contest. It was also the second time in the history of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest that the event took place in last year's winning country, as well as the first time that the event was held in the same city twice. A total of twelve countries participated, with Macedonia and Malta making a return,[10][11] and Albania,[12] Belgium[13] and Israel choosing to withdraw.[14] San Marino made their debut in the contest.[15] Cyprus was originally the thirteenth country to take part but pulled out the last minute.[16]

On the evening of the contest Ruslana withdrew from appearing in the contest because of sickness.[17] Gaia Cauchi representing Malta won the contest with the song "The Start". This was Malta's first Junior Eurovision victory as well as their first victory in any Eurovision Contest.[7] It also marked the first time in the history of the contest that a winning entry was sung entirely in English. This was also the first contest to introduce a new awards system: The Winning Country along with the Second and Third place countries each get a trophy.

Gaia Cauchi won the contest while Sofia Tarasova, representing the host nation Ukraine, took second place and Ilya Volkov singing for Belarus took the third place trophy.

The executive supervisor of the Junior Eurovision steering group, Vladislav Yakovlev, announced on 17 July 2013 that there would be some changes being introduced to the contest from 2013 onwards. The contest would no longer focus on just the winning entry, but will also reward prizes to the top three entries in acknowledgement of the talents of the young performers.[19] It was also announced that the winner of Junior Eurovision 2013 would be at the grown-ups' Eurovision in 2014, however the role that they will play has not been revealed.[20] On 7 October 2013, it was announced that the executive supervisor managed to maintain the participation of thirteen countries for the contest in Kiev, Ukraine.[21] The name of the thirteenth country was expected to be announced by the European Broadcasting Union on 29 October 2013.[21] It was later confirmed on 1 November 2013 that Cyprus were going to be the thirteenth country but withdrew at the last minute.[16] The running order draw took place on 25 November 2013 during the contest's opening party[22][23]
