Eurovision Ireland’s countdown to the 2024 Junior Eurovision Song Contest, in Madrid, continues today. This year, our countdown will look at the top Acts to ‘Bloom’ for the Participating Countries past and present, while we will also look at the top five Acts to ‘Bloom’ from all the previous Contests.

Today we are looking at this year’s participating country of Ukraine. They have made the #Top3 a total of three times so far. The three Ukrainian Acts to ‘Bloom’ within the #Top3 were:

2008: Viktoria Petryk, “Matrosy” (2nd place, 135 points)

2012: Anastasiya Petryk, “Nebo” (1st place, 138 points)

2013: Sofia Tarasova, “We Are One” (2nd place, 121 points)

2024: Artem Kotenko, “Hear Me Now”

Can Artem Kotenko take Ukraine to another #Top3 position or even their second victory? We will find out on Saturday 16th November.
