Before Junior Eurovision
Festival da Canção Júnior 06
The submission window for Festival da Canção 06 was open from 17 June until 4 August 2006 and by the end of the submission window, 72 songs were received.[1] A jury consisting of Ramon Galarza, Fernando Martins and Inês Santos narrowed the list down to 14. Then another jury consisting of young experts chose the 10 participants which were announced on 1 September 2006.[2][3] Sara Afonso Gonçalves’ song “Folhas de Vento” was disqualified and was replaced by João Ferreira.
The final was held on 29 September 2006 at Tivoli Theater, Lisbon and was broadcast on RTP1 and RTP Internacional. The hosts of the final were Jorge Gabriel and Helena Coelho. The final results were chosen by televoting. Interval acts featured Doce Juniors, Mega 7 and Grupo de Danca do BCM.[4][5][6] The top 3 results were revealed in percentages during the live show and some time later the full results were revealed.[7]
