Only one of them can make it to Gliwice and expectations are as high as Malta holds the title to be one of the countries at Junior Eurovision who has been most successful at.
This year, the Malta Junior Eurovision has suffered some big changes which will increase the excitement towards the artist selection. PBS has given the kids the chance to perform any cover of a popular song that they might like as well as original tracks which they could have been approached for or just self-written.
