Before Junior Eurovision

Junior Songfestival 2005

The submission window for Junior Songfestival 2005 was open from 1 January 2005 until 1 April 2005.[1] By the deadline, AVRO received almost 2000 submissions. Out of the submissions, 40 acts were selected to perform in auditions in Hilversum at 5 and 6 May 2005. A six-member jury selected the participants.[2]

Originally, Stephanie with the song “De wereld om je heen” was a participant of Junior Songfestival 2005, but she withdrew and was replaced by Cleo with the song “Ik lijk zo op een jongen”.[3] On 1 September 2005, 30 second fragments of the competing songs were released. The common song of Junior Songfestival 2005 was “Alles wat je wilt”.[4]

Junior Songfestival 2005 was hosted at the Central Studios in Utrecht and was hosted by Tooske Ragas. The adult jury consisted of Kim-Lian van der Meij, Manuela Kemp, René Froger and Sander Lantinga.[5]
