Tonight, it is the turn of Wales, and the red dragon to breath fire in Gliwice, as the country gears up to chose their second artist for Junior Eurovision. All summer, the country has been searching for a star through the auditions, and selection stages. Tonight, the country will find it's next seren, as the country will vote to send the right act through to Poland.

The competition has encompassed most of Wales, with the auditions taking place in South Wales and the grand final being held in the North. Just like last year, the show will be broadcast live from the Venue Cymru, Llandudno. The show will be streamed live from the welsh broadcaster's channel S4C from 19:15 (GMT) 20:15 (CET).

Wales At Junior Eurovision
Last year, the Eurovision community was delighted, and surprised to see Wales on the list of participants. 2018 marked the first year that the country had been invited to the contest along with Kazakhstan. The honour went to 14 year old Manw who sang "Perta" and gave a performance of her life. Despite finishing at the bottom of the leader board scoring 29 points, S4C will not give up, and are determined to find a winner at the contest, and are hoping one of the six acts above will be a star and shine for Wales at Gliwice.
