France participated in and won the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in Yerevan, Armenia. French broadcaster France Télévisions is responsible for the country's participation in the contest.
Background[edit]
France debuted in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2004 with "Si on voulait bien" by Thomas Pontier.[1] Despite getting sixth place, France Télévisions decided to withdraw from the contest after 2004, saying there was no motivation to compete and that "too much Eurovision kills Eurovision".[2] France returned to the contest in 2018, and achieved second place with Angelina with the song "Jamais sans toi".[3] In the 2020 contest, Valentina represented France in Warsaw, Poland with the song "J'imagine". She placed 1st out of 12 entries with 200 points, achieving the first ever French victory at the contest and the first win for France in any Eurovision event since Eurovision Young Dancers 1989.[4] Enzo represented France at the 2021 contest in Paris with the song "Tic Tac", placing third with 187 points.[5][6][7]
Before Junior Eurovision[edit]
On 28 October 2022, Lissandro Formica was announced as the French entrant at Junior Eurovision 2022 with the song "Oh maman!".[8]
At Junior Eurovision[edit]
After the opening ceremony, which took place on 5 December 2022, it was announced that France would perform sixth on 11 December 2022, following Italy and preceding Albania.[9]
Lissandro Formica went on to win the contest, receiving 203 points.
Voting[edit]
The same voting system that was introduced in the 2017 edition was used, where the results were determined by 50% online voting and 50% jury voting. Every country had a national jury that consisted of three music industry professionals and two children aged between 10 and 15 who were citizens of the country they represented. The rankings of those jurors were combined to make an overall top ten.[10]
The online voting consisted of two phases. The first phase of the online voting began on 9 December 2022 when a recap of all the rehearsal performances was shown on the contest's website Junioreurovision.tv before the viewers could vote. After this, voters also had the option to watch longer one-minute clips from each participant's rehearsal. This first round of voting ended on Sunday 11 December at 15:59 CET. The second phase of the online voting took place during the live show and began right after the last performance and was open for 15 minutes. International viewers were able vote for three songs.[11] They were also able to vote for their own country's song. These votes were then turned into points which were determined by the percentage of votes received. For example, if a song received 10% of the votes, it received 10% of the available points.
