The Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2006 was the fourth edition of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest for young singers aged 8 to 15. On December 2, 2006, the contest was broadcast live from Bucharest, Romania making it the second time the contest had been held in a capital city. It was organised by the Romanian national broadcaster, TVR, in co-operation with the European Broadcasting Union. TVR won the rights of hosting the contest over AVRO[2] of the Netherlands (who hosted the next contest). Croatia also expressed an interest in hosting this contest.[3]
The contest was won by The Tolmachevy Twins from Russia with the song "Spring Jazz".
Originally 16 countries had initially signed up for the contest but one unspecified country later dropped out.[4] The show was broadcast live in the competing countries, as well as Andorra, Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Australian television channel SBS that acquired the rights for broadcasting the show, which was broadcast on January 1, 2007.

[edit] Withdrawn countries
The Scandinavian broadcasters; DR of Denmark, NRK of Norway and SVT of Sweden; decided to withdraw from the contest for various reasons, one being that the content put too much pressure on the participating children. Instead they staged a solely Scandinavian contest called Melodi Grand Prix Nordic in Stockholm, as they did in 2002. However, Sweden did participate, with commercial broadcaster TV4 supplying Sweden's entry. This meant that Sweden participated in both contests.
ITV, the United Kingdom broadcaster of the contest from 2003 up until and including 2005, withdrew from the contest, after they were originally given the rights to broadcast it when the BBC declined the offer. In 2003, they broadcast the contest on main channel ITV1, relegating it to ITV2 for the next two years due to bad viewer ratings, before their complete withdrawal in 2006.
Latvia has also withdrawn, mainly due to financial reasons.
Serbia and Montenegro participated in the 2005 contest, but since then, Montenegro voted for independency. The EBU gave their national broadcaster, RTCG, extra time to decide whether or not to participate, but they finally declined the invitation.
[edit] Facts
For the third year in a row, the contest was won by a girl. Also for the third year in a row, the third place went to a girl. Since 2003, the country that wins, comes second or third the next year.
