The Netherlands’ Junior Songfestival just pulled a record number of applications. The competition is the country’s selection process for Junior Eurovision (including 9-14-year-olds), where finalists are assigned original songs to perform on the national stage. The record-breaking 1.6K applicant pool (400 more than last year) signals that Eurovision still has serious pull with young people, even while TikTok is creating new music stars constantly. The audition process is intensive: applicants submit YouTube covers, then face camera-free auditions, filmed dance and singing rounds, and a final selection over the course of months. The Netherlands holds a unique distinction as the only country to have competed in every Junior Eurovision since its 2003 debut—and its popularity is clearly on the up. (eurovoix)
