The Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2005 was the third Junior Eurovision Song Contest for young singers aged 8 to 15. On November 26, 2005, the contest was broadcast live from the Ethias Arena in Hasselt, Belgium, in a joint effort by the national broadcasters VRT and RTBF, in co-operation with the European Broadcasting Union. Marcel Vanthilt and Maureen Louys hosted the event.

The show was not only broadcast live in the competing countries, it was also available on satellite worldwide and the Australian television channel SBS acquired the rights to broadcast the show one month later.

Originally, seventeen countries had applied to compete, but on October 13, Cypriot broadcaster CyBC announced their withdrawal for internal reasons (complaints were being sent to the broadcaster stating that the song they had chosen appeared to be plagiarism). This did not affect their ability to take part in the voting.

The public broadcasters of Switzerland and Poland didn't send candidates for financial reasons. France didn't join because of restructuring within the channel. Russia and Serbia and Montenegro made their debut in the competition this year.

The theme of the show was 'Let's Get Loud', standing for the new generation on the stage.

The show was watched by 8,500 people in the Arena, including the Belgian Prince Laurent and 20-25 million people around Europe

Belarus was the winner of this edition, with 10-year old Ksenia Sitnik singing her song 'My Vmeste'.

[edit] Acts

The show opened with fireworks and bungee jumpers.

As surprise act the young Vladik Myagkostupov from the famous Cirque du Soleil showed his juggling abilities in a 4 minute performance while people were voting during the interval. While the votes were being counted, the Spanish María Isabel, performed a medley from the song with which she won the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2004 and some of the numbers from the album she had recently released. She also presented the trophy to the winner.
