The Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2011 will be the ninth edition of the contest, and will take place in Yerevan, Armenia at the recently renovated Karen Demirchyan Sports and Concerts Complex.[1] It is the first time in history of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest that the contest will be held in last year's winning country. Public Television of Armenia ARMTV will be main organizer of the show, being provided financial aid from the European Broadcasting Union made of entrance fees from the participating broadcasters, while Swedish company HD Resources will assist with technical side of the production.[2]

Together with AMPTV, we are eager to put together the coolest Junior Eurovision Song Contest that Europe has seen so far. The event is extremely popular in Armenia and their strong bid gave us the confidence they will be capable to put together a great show.

— Sietse Bakker, Executive Supervisor of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest

Logo and graphic design

Logo of the contest was presented on 15 July 2011 by the EBU.[3]

Earlier in May, ARMTV announced a competition for children to to design the official logo of the contest, which was due to be presented on 1 June.[4] However, in the end the logo was designed by a professional teams from ARMTV, the EBU and Studio of Anton Baranov from Belarus, who also designed logo of Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2010. The logo depicts equalizer bars in the shape of a mountain, hinting to the famous Mount Ararat. "The logo is vibrant, young and playful. The slogan Reach For The Top really reflects the ambition of the contestants, and hopefully inspires a young generation of Armenians to do the same", said Sietse Bakker, EBU Supervisor of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest.

Participants

On 15th of July, the EBU announced that 12 countries will compete in the upcoming contest. San Marino will compete for the first time, while Latvia, Serbia and Malta have withdrawn. EBU also has been negotiating with several other countries, including Italy and Spain, but they were not able to confirm their participation due to the shortage of time. On 15th of August, it has been announced that Bulgaria has joined the list, returning after a two-year absense from the contest.[5]

Voting rules changes

Changes to the voting announced include that televoting will only be possible after all songs have performed, and not from the beginning of the show as in previous years - returning to the rules active in 2003-2005. Each country's spokesperson will also announce all the points during their presentation, due to the lower number of participating countries, as it was done in 2003-2004.[6][7]

According to Sietse Bakker, EBU coordinator - EBU may also drop this rule completely starting from 2012. Notably, Ekaterina has also already applied to national preselection in 2010 as well, but was disqualified following the existing rule. [16]
