The Opening Ceremony for the Junior Eurovision Song in Minsk has finished not too long ago.

During the show the hosts welcomed everyone to Belarus for the week, two of the hosts (Zina and Helena Meraai) have sung this year’s theme song, ‘Light Up’, together with the Belarusian representative this year, Daniel, and ofcourse the running order was (at least partly) decided there and then!

Belarus, as the host country, had to draw their exact position for reasons of fairness, so they can’t favour themselves in any way. Belarus will be performing at #8 on Sunday.
The then country who will open the contest was drawn at random (Ukraine) and the closer as well (Poland).

You can watch the entire show here:

The rest would be decided by host broadcaster BRTC and approved by the EBU and we didn’t have to wait long as the full running order is here already!
