Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox song contest country Belgium competed in every Junior Eurovision Song Contest before withdrawing 2013. The country's best result was in Шаблон:Escyr, when Laura Omloop came 4th with "Zo verliefd". Belgium's worst result was in Шаблон:Escyr, with Trust coming 15th with "Anders".
History
Belgium are one of the sixteen countries to have made their debut at the inaugural Шаблон:Escyr contest, which took place on 15 November 2003 at the Forum in Copenhagen, Denmark.[1]
National selection
Two broadcasters were once responsible for the Belgium entry at Junior Eurovision - as for the Eurovision Song Contest, both Flemish broadcaster Vlaamse Radio- en Televisieomroep (VRT) and Walloon broadcaster Radio télévision belge de la communauté française (RTBF) were responsible for organising the Belgian entry for Junior Eurovision. The two broadcasters shared responsibility, with VRT organising one year, and RTBF organising the following year. In 2003 VRT organised the Belgian entry, sending X!NK to Copenhagen with "De vriendschapsband", while in Шаблон:Escyr, RTBF organised the Belgian entry, sending the Free Spirits to the contest in Lillehammer with "Accroche-toi".
2005 marked a change to the format, with both broadcasters organising one national final due to the Шаблон:Escyr contest being held in the Belgian city of Hasselt. Each broadcaster chose six songs to compete in one national final, with the final winner representing Belgium at the contest.[2] The winner was Lindsay Daenen with "Mes rêves". 2006 returned to the previous format, with VRT organising the entry. Following this RTBF decided to withdraw from Junior Eurovision due to a lack of interest for the contest in Wallonia and in RTBF.[3] This gave VRT total control of Belgium's Junior Eurovision entry.
Although VRT is a Dutch broadcaster, they have been known to include some French songs in their national finals, for example, in Шаблон:Escyr. However, since 2006 all Belgian entries have been in Dutch. In 2010, Belgium sent a duo for the first time since their debut. Belgium was also the first country who confirmed to participate in Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2011 and 2012.[4]
Withdrawal
On 26 March 2013, Flemish broadcaster, VRT, announced that Belgium will withdraw from the contest in 2013 in order to launch a new show for young performs in Belgium.[5] However, they held a national final called Шаблон:Ill, which was won by then 14-year-old Pieter Vreys. On 20 December 2013, Belgium's Flemish TV channel Ketnet announced that they are no longer interested in Junior Eurovision and decided not to make a comeback. On 31 December 2023, Flemish broadcaster VRT stated that it had not yet made a decision as to a return to the contest in 2024, but that it would consider the possibility in the following months.[6]
