Polish public broadcaster TVP will host the Junior Eurovision Song Contest again in 2020. The 18th edition of the Contest for talented artists aged 9 to 14 will take place on a yet-to-be-revealed date in a yet-to-be-revealed Host City. TVP is making history by becoming the first broadcaster to host 2 Junior Eurovision Song Contests in a row.
With Viki Gabor’s triumph, TVP already became the first broadcaster to win the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2 years in a row. And there was another first: Viki’s win marked the first time the Host Country won the competition.
EBU: Junior Eurovision is making history once again
