The Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2016 will be the 14th annual Junior Eurovision Song Contest, and will take place in a yet to be announced city, either the 2015 winning country (Malta), or in a city that will be chosen by EBU. As of 13 February 2016, two countries have announced their provisional participation in the contest. A new executive supervisor will be appointed by the EBU and introduced in this coming edition to replace Vladislav Yakovlev who left the role after three contests.[1]
Provisional list of participants
Other countries
For a country to be eligible for potential participation in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, it needs to be an active member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).[3] It is unknown whether the EBU issue invitations of participation to all 56 active members like they do for the Eurovision Song Contest.[3] The EBU Active Members listed below have made the following announcements in regards to their decisions.

Denmark — Right after the 2015 edition, Denmark's national broadcaster DR determined that they would "no longer" participate in further Junior Eurovision Song Contests. Jan Lagermand Lundme, the Entertainment President of DR commented that the competition "namely that it is fun, even if it's competition." He also criticised that the contest had become too much of a copy of the main Eurovision Song Contest, and the contest was far away from its core idea - "the joy, the humor and the play". As a result, DR determined that they wouldn't return to the competition any longer.[4]
