Wales announced on 9 May 2018 that they will debut at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2018 to be held in Minsk, Belarus. Welsh broadcaster S4C is responsible for the country's participation in the contest.[1] A televised national selection process, Chwilio am Seren (English: Search for a Star), was held to select the Welsh entrant.[2] Manw won the national final on 9 October to represent Wales with the internally selected song "Berta", written by Ywain Gwynedd.[3]
Wales previously took part in the contest as part of the United Kingdom between 2003 and 2005, with ITV being responsible for their participation. S4C had also shown interest in participating in the 2008 contest in Limassol, Cyprus, but in the end decided against participating.[4]
