The 2016 World Junior Figure Skating Championships is an international figure skating competition in the 2015–16 season. Commonly called "World Juniors" and "Junior Worlds", the event will determine the World Junior champions in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing.

The event will be held from 14-20 March 2016 in Debrecen, Hungary.^[1]

Qualification

The competition is open to skaters from ISU member nations who are at least 13 but not 19—or 21 for male pair skaters and ice dancers—before July 1, 2015 in their place of birth. National associations may select their entries according to their own criteria but the ISU has mandated that their selections achieve a minimum technical elements score (TES) at an international event prior to the Junior Worlds.

The term "Junior" in ISU competition refers to age, not skill level. Skaters may remain age-eligible for Junior Worlds even after competing nationally and internationally at the senior level. At junior events, the ISU requires that all programs conform to junior-specific rules regarding program length, jumping passes, types of elements, etc.
