Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2010

The **Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2010** was the eighth edition of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest. It took place in Minsk, Belarus on 20 November 2010.
The contest was won by Vladimir Arzumanyan of Armenia with the song "Mama". This gave Armenia its first win at Junior Eurovision and its first win in any Eurovision contest, even though Sweden had been the betting favourite.

## Final

- All countries were given 12 points at the start of voting. This is so no country gets zero points.
- As a joke, the Executive Supervisor of the contest, Svante Stockselius, was given 12 points before the voting. This probably because he was scheduled to resign at the end of the year.
