This article deals with the history of Germany as a participant in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest .
National preliminary decision
The children's channel KiKA will look for the German contribution to the program Dein Song for Warsaw - the format Dein Song will be used , which has been produced by ZDF for the children's channel since 2008 .
Participation in the competition
On July 8, 2020, the NDR confirmed Germany's debut at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2020 on November 29 in Warsaw . Participation will be based on a collaboration between KiKA, NDR and ZDF .
Participation had already been announced for 2003 and 2004 but did not take place without giving reasons.
Since 2013 , the TV broadcaster ARD , responsible for the Eurovision Song Contest , has shown interest again and was on the list of possible debutants for 2014 , but in the end it was decided not to participate.
The ZDF was interested in participating in 2015 and dispatched an observer to JESC 2014 in Malta. Nevertheless, Germany did not take part in 2015 either and excluded its debut for 2016.
In December 2019, KiKA confirmed that a delegation from the broadcaster and NDR had visited the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2019 in Gliwice to experience the competition as part of the audience. It was emphasized that at this point in time no decision had yet been made whether Germany would participate in the following year or not - although there were close discussions with the EBU.
