The Netherlands will participate in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in Yerevan, Armenia. National broadcaster AVROTROS is responsible for the participation and selected the nation's entrant, Luna with the song "La festa", via national final Junior Songfestival 2022.
Background
The Netherlands is the only country to have participated in every edition of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest since the inaugural 2003 edition.[1] The Netherlands have won the contest on one occasion: in 2009 with the song "Click Clack", performed by Ralf Mackenbach.[2] In the 2021 contest in Paris, France, Ayana represented the Netherlands with the song "Mata Sugu Aō Ne", containing lyrics in Dutch, English and Japanese. She finished in 19th place with 43 points; the first last place result for the Netherlands.[3]

AVROTROS selected the Dutch representative through the televised national final Junior Songfestival, on 24 September 2022 at the RTM Stage in Rotterdam, a part of the Ahoy venue complex.[4]
Competing entries
Following the 2021 edition of the competition, the submissions process was opened for singers who want to represent the Netherlands at the 2022 contest.[5] Following a call for participants which closed in February,[6] NPO Zapp revealed the list of singers who made it through to the auditions round in March 2022.[7] The finalists were revealed on 10 and 17 June 2022, during two episodes published on the official Junior Songfestival YouTube channel.[8][9] Twenty three acts past the audition stage and fourteen of them were selected to be the finalists of Junior Songfestival 2022.[10][11] The four acts that will compete in the final of Junior Songfestival 2022 were revealed on 24 June 2022.[12] The line-up consists of three groups: a girl group, a boyband, a mixed group and a soloist, being the first line-up in over a decade in which this mix of performers has competed.[12]
