[edit] Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2005

Fuller was the UK's entrant to the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2005. She won the British final to select a song, after competing against seven other young performers.

After travelling to Hasselt for the contest on November 26, she competed against singers from other countries across Europe. Joni's mature songwriting style and performance contrasted with other acts and resulted in a 14th placing. The UK have since withdrawn from the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, along with other major European countries.
