Dziennik Eurowizyjny reports that broadcasters have currently not been requested by the EBU to film backup performances for Junior Eurovision 2021.

According to sources speaking to Dziennik Eurowizyjny, broadcasters have not been told by the European Broadcasting Union to film backup performances for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest. The European Broadcasting Union has yet to comment publicly on the scenario under which the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2021 will be held.

For Junior Eurovision 2020 filming of backup performances in the proceeding six weeks before the final was broadcast on November 29. Spain filmed their performance seven weeks in advance of the contest, while Germany recorded their performance a matter of days before the final. If delegations were to start recording their performances in line with the 2020 contest, recordings would likely commence from the first week of November.

As of the end of August, four potential scenarios were being discussed by the EBU.

Scenario A
Under this scenario, the contest would take place with no restrictions for the contestants, delegations, press or audience. The last contest to be held under these conditions was in 2019.

Scenario B
This scenario would be similar to the scenario used for Eurovision 2021. Social distancing and other sanitary measures would be in place for anyone attending the contest. All participants would have to record a “Live on Tape” performance in their home countries, in case someone in a delegation is infected with Covid-19 during their stay in Paris. A maximum audience of 3,500 people would be allowed at both the jury show and the live show by the organisers but the exact number would be subject to the number of infections at the time of the show. In order to gain access to the venue, proof of a recent negative Covid test (no longer than 48 hours before entrance) would be required. The press center would comprise of a physical part in Paris and an online part.

Scenario C
This scenario is similar to Scenario B except that travel restrictions would be in effect for certain delegations. For those delegations unable to travel to Paris, their “Live on Tape” performances would be used as their official performances, similar to Australia in Eurovision 2021.

Scenario D

Scenario D, the scenario in which Junior Eurovision 2020 was organised, which would see all delegations stay at home, is likely to be discarded after the successful organisation of Eurovision 2021 and low rate of positive tests during the contest. However, the scenarios may change due to the evolving nature of the pandemic.

The 2021 Junior Eurovision Song Contest will take place in La Seine Musicale, Paris, France on Sunday 19th December. The contest will be hosted by France for the first time following Valentina’s victory at the 2020 contest with her song “J’imagine”.
