Background

Main article: Armenia in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest

Prior to the 2021 contest, Armenia had participated in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest twelve times since its first entry in 2007, with their best result being in 2010 when they won with the song "Mama", performed by Vladimir Arzumanyan.[5] Armenia went on to host the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2011 in the Armenian capital Yerevan.[6] In the 2019 contest, Karina Ignatyan represented country in Gliwice, Poland with the song "Colours of Your Dream". The song ended 9th out of 19 entries with 115 points.

Despite being included on the final list of participating countries,[7] Armenia withdrew from the 2020 contest in November 2020 due to the then-ongoing Nagorno-Karabakh war.[8] It was later revealed that Maléna Fox had been internally selected to represent Armenia with the song "Why".[9] With the Nagorno-Karabakh war ending on 10 November, Armenia's head of delegation David Tserunyan wrote on Instagram that the country would "come back stronger than ever".[10]

Before Junior Eurovision

On 17 November 2021, AMPTV confirmed that Maléna was internally selected to represent Armenia again in the contest.[11] Prior to the announcement, Armenian media had already reported that she was selected.[12][13] It was officially revealed on 18 November 2021 that Maléna would perform "Qami Qami" at the contest, and the lyrics of the song were revealed on the junioreurovision.tv website. The song itself was released the next day.

"Qami Qami" (Armenian: Քամի Քամի; English translation: "Wind Wind") is a song by Armenian singer Maléna. It represented Armenia in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2021 in Paris, France.

At Junior Eurovision

After the opening ceremony, which took place on 13 December 2021, it was announced that Armenia will perform ninth on 19 December 2021, following Ireland and preceding Kazakhstan.[15]

At the end of the contest, Armenia received a total of 224 points, winning the contest.

Voting

The same voting system that was introduced in the 2017 edition will be used, where the results will be determined by 50% online voting and 50% jury voting.

The online voting consisted of two phases. The first phase of the online voting began on 17 December 2021 when a recap of all the rehearsal performances was shown on 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 19 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 opened for 15 minutes. International viewers were able to vote for a maximum of three songs.[16] They were also able to vote for their own country's song. These votes were then turned into points determined by the percentage of votes received. For example, if a song received 20% of the votes, it received 20% of the available points.
