Armenia wins Junior Eurovision 2026 in Malta
Armenia secured its third Junior Eurovision Song Contest victory on October 24, 2026, at the Malta Fairs and Conventions Centre in Ta’ Qali. Thirteen-year-old Naré Kerobyan won the competition with her song “BOO!”, earning a total of 202 points. Her victory was bolstered by a strong performance in the online public vote, which helped her overcome the professional jury's preference for other contestants.
Spain, represented by 10-year-old Lucas Paulano with the song “Cuore Bello (Te quiero, te quiero)”, finished in second place with 184 points. France took third place with 165 points. The contest featured 16 participating countries, with the results determined by a 50/50 split between national professional juries and an online public vote.
Following this win, organizers announced that the 2027 edition of the contest will be held in Yerevan, Armenia.
