Location
Different as in the adult version, the previous winners isn't automatically the next hosting country. All participating countries were able to send a bid for host this edition.

Croatia, who won the previous edition, announced that they where currently not interested in organising this edition.

Only Sweden and Russia announced that they would like to organise the contest. Sweden selected Annexet in Stockholm. Russia also decided to choose their capital: Moscow.

Host city

The EBU announced that Stockholm would be the host country for this edition. Sweden already hosted other EuroMusic events. The 6th, 9th and 19th edition of the EuroMusic Song Contest. Sweden also hosted two times the EuroMusic Dance Contest, both times in Stockholm.

Number of participants
For the first edition, the EBU announced that they invited some countries to participate in the contest. The maximum of countries is 15.

Running order
There are specific rules about how a country gets his running order.

The countries will be split in to groups (first- and second half). This will happen fully random. After, a team will create a running order.

Song
Each country sends one song to the contest. The song has to be in one of the official languages of the country. The song also can't be longer than five minutes.

Voting rules
After that all the participating countries have sang their song, each single country awards a set of points. The country who gets the most amount of points wins the contest. If two or more countries receive the same number of points, the country that received from the mst countries points, will be ranked higher. If that is also the same, then the country who have the highest rank of a country, will be ranked higher.
