The Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2007 was the fifth edition of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest. It was held in the Ahoy' indoor sporting arena in Rotterdam, the Netherlands on 8 December.[1] The host country was chosen by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) on 13 July 2006. The host city was announced on 11 September 2006. AVRO won the rights to host the show over Hrvatska radiotelevizija (HRT) of Croatia (who didn't actually participate in this contest) and the Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation (CyBC) of Cyprus.[2] The budget for the contest was stated to be more than €2,000,000.[3]
Belarus won the Contest by a single point over Armenia. The winning performer was Alexey Zhigalkovich, singing "S druzyami" (With friends). This was Belarus' second win; they won for the first time in 2005. This is the only contest to date where the winning song did not receive points from all of the participating countries.

Armenia, Bulgaria, Georgia and Lithuania were the newcomers this year. Bosnia and Herzegovina was going to be one of the four débutants but Georgia took this place when Radiotelevizija Bosne i Hercegovine (BHRT) decided to withdraw from participation.[1]
The minimum age of contestants was raised from 8 to 10 years this year.

Over the past few years, most Eurovision contests have involved some controversy due to allegations of song plagiarism. This year is no exception, the Russian entry received claims from an adult composer that she is the original songwriter of the song. Further claims were made that the song was performed before the national selection as far as a year ago in August 2006 which is allegedly a violation of the rules as defined by the EBU. At the time of writing no resolution to this matter has been made.[8]
An official double CD of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2007 was intended to go on sale on 23 December 2007. The EBU announced that there would be no official DVD of the Contest due to a lack of interest.[9]
The Belgian single was released on 5 October 2007, while the Dutch entry went on sale on 26 October 2007. There are no plans for commercial single releases of JESC entries in other countries, but a few promo copies for Rotterdam might be printed.[10]
