Junior Eurovision: Ukrainian final to take place in Bukovel (Details announced)

The Ukrainian national selection for Junior Eurovision 2014 is in full swing. NTU has already selected 20 hopefuls to take part in the national final and is working under the preparation for the show which is traditionally held outside Kyiv.

This year the venue was chosen in the the National Carpathian Park, which is 920 meters above sea level, at the foot of Bukovel Mountain, a famous ski resort of Ukraine. So, an International children’s centre “Artek-Carpaty” is officially announced as a venue of the Ukrainian National Final for Junior Eurovision 2014.

All the finalists are supposed to stay in Bukovel for 2 weeks to be able to prepare for the National final properly. All the young artists will work hard with the choreographers, stage directors, vocal coaches and dancers during their stay in the children’s centre “Artek-Carpaty” to polish their stage performances. Each of them will try to make it as good as possible in order to impress the audience in the concert hall as well as viewers in front of TV screens across Ukraine. The winner will be chosen as a result of mixed voting (50%-viewers, 50%-jury).

The show of the Ukrainian National Final is scheduled for Saturday, 9 August at 20.30 and will be broadcast live on the First National Channel. A special web cast in English commentaries is expected to be available on junioreurovision.tv.
