## About

The Junior UnitedVision Song Contest is a music event on Discord. It is very similar to the "Junior Eurovision Song Contest". Every US state competes against other US states to find the best song of the month. Each state must choose the finest song to represent their state, however it must only incorporate children/teens aged 8 to 15. Then, after all of the songs have been performed at the Grand Final, each state has a jury that will award points to the states based on voices, rhythm, staging, and so on. States juries are not allowed to talk to other juries in order to gain points for themselves or other states. Then, once the UBU announces that a confirmed result has been obtained, they will crown the winner, who will acquire the winner position on Discord and will be eligible to host the next edition. The winner has the option to decline hosting.

The Junior UnitedVision Song Contest has had six editions, with nine states participating at least once.

Since May 2021, the United Broadcasting Union (UBU) has hosted every Junior UnitedVision Song Contest.

The UBU presented all of the Junior UnitedVision Song Contest from May 29, 2021 to December 4, 2021, and subsequently renewed them from April 27, 2022 to November 5, 2022. Then UBU renewed it to stay on October 26, 2023, stating that "The creative and talent of JUVSC will be shown in a better light and will be an actual side companion to the adult UnitedVision Song Contest."

## **Hosting States**

The states that have hosted one of the several Junior UnitedVision Contests either won the contest or were picked by the UBU to host the event. If a state wins, it can decline to host the event, and the runner-up in that edition can either host or decline to host. If they both decline to host then the event will proceed to a host bid in which the states from the edition can host.

## **Junior UnitedVision Slogans and Logos**

Since October 2021, an individual slogan has been linked with every edition of the contest. The slogan is chosen in accordance with the concept of the logo. For the first edition of the Junior UnitedVision Song Contest, there was no slogan.

The generic logo has changed a lot each edition due to JUVSC being a smaller event. In 2023, JUVSC received a new unique brand typography as well as a sleek modern design. The new logo removed the "heart" from their emblem to avoid seeming like a "Eurovision" logo. The word "Junior" fits between the "T" and "V" in UnitedVision logo. The "song contest" is in the middle and the state and the edition number are together in a lighter font at the middle bottom of the logo.

The contest has been "cancelled" or said to be the "last" but the UBU made their final decision on making JUVSC stay as a proper and actual side companion to the adult UnitedVision Song Contest on October 26, 2023.

Since May 29, 2021, 10 states have taken part in the Junior UnitedVision Contest, with 33 songs and 5 winners.
