San Marino has participated in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest three times since their debut in the 2013 contest.[1] San Marino RTV (SMRTV), a member organization of the European Broadcasting Union, is responsible for San Marino's participation. Following a nine-year absence after the 2015 contest, San Marino will return to the contest in 2024.
History
[edit]San Marino had previously attempted to participate in the contest in 2011 in Yerevan, Armenia; however, the national broadcaster withdrew before the contest as they had not found a representative in time.[1] In 2013 and 2015, San Marino selected its entrant internally, while in 2014 it used "Vocine Nuove Castrocaro" as a selection.
San Marino made its debut in the contest in 2013 in Kyiv, Ukraine.[1] According to Giovanni, the announcer of the Sammarinese points in 2013, San Marino used a jury.
In 2015, Michele Perniola, Sammarinese representative in 2013, and Anita Simoncini, a member of girlband The Peppermints who participated in 2014, were chosen together to perform in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015. San Marino announced that they would not return to the contest in 2016. On September 3, 2024 it was announced that San Marino will return to the contest after their nine-year absence.[2][3]
