On July 21 a press conference about Junior Eurovision 2011 was held at the Dvin hall of Ani Plaza hotel. The Executive producer of JESC Levon Simonyan, the Producer Grigor Nazaryan and the Head of delegations Gohar Gasparyan represented the logo and the slogan of the contest to the journalists and spoke about the actions that have already been taken place and shared with the future plans.

The organizing team has worked a lot on the logo. It was made by the creative team of Armenian Public TV together with designer Anton Baranov and the European Broadcasting Union.  The logo pictures a music equalizer which has the colors of the flag of the Republic of Armenia. This extraordinary picture which associates with mountains becomes fuller with the slogan: “Reach for the Top”.

12 countries have already joined to this colorful and encouraging: Belarus, Belgium, Georgia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Moldova, Russia, San Marino, Ukraine, Armenia, The Netherlands and Sweden. This list can still be filled with the new participants who can also try to “reach for the top”.

Before these events Armenian First channel with the help of the TV viewers will select our representative for this year. The new deadline for applications is August 20^. Armenian national selections for Junior Eurovision 2011 will take place a month later after that date.
