Junior Eurovision 2008: Poland returns to JESC?

A Polish return to the Junior Eurovision Song Contest is possible this year, according to Aneta Wrona of Polish broadcaster TVP. Poland's representative would be chosen through the existing television show "Mini szansa", and would be broadcast on TVP2, Poland's secondary national channel.

Poland is one of the 16 original participants in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, having debuted in 2003, but withdrew in 2004 after 2 last places out of 2 attempts.

It is as yet unclear as to whether TVP has officially submitted their participation bid to the EBU, but with Sweden withdrawing from the competition, it seems likely that they will be accepted.

The Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2008 will take place later this year in Limassol, Cyprus.

@Sandra:

I agree, you (as in Sweden) had two great entries two years in a row, they both deserved to be much higher. But I guess its painfully obvious why entries win the Jesc. Its all in the running order, if youre last youre almost guaranteed a win. Especially if you happen to be Belarus or Russia.

ps. but i do think, there are still sometimes entries in the Jesc that really make your mouth fall open... Does anyone remember Joni fuller (Uk 2003)? Im still listening to that! And I thought the spanish winner and that spanish flamenco song (te traigo flores...?) were actually good songs too. And the Georgian one last year was good too, or that could still be my admiration for Sopho talking.

But if poland is gonna be last again, i wouldnt enter. You always feel sorry for these kids who are talented but are left with only a few points.

JESC is pointless. It's just Eurovision but dumbed down and from what I've seen, totally owned by Belarus.

Russian-Belorussia-Ukrainan party... I hope that polish song will be good and we wont have the last place like in 2003 and in 2004.

I somehow agree with Sandra. Belarus was terrible this year.
The Netherlands were the best.
Vocaly, and the song was amazing!

STOP THIS CRAP!!!!

The best song never wins only the cuties entry!

Then, the two last years Sweden has two great entries! We deserved a win especially 2006 with Molly Sandén but without neighbours will should never win JESC!

TV 4 made a great decision!!!!!!!!! No Sweden in JESC!!! JIPPIEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
