Background
Prior to the 2021 contest, Spain had participated in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest on six occasions since its debut in the inaugural 2003 contest. Spain won the 2004 contest with the song "Antes muerta que sencilla", performed by María Isabel.[1] In the 2021 contest, Levi Díaz represented Spain with the song "Reír", achieving 15th place out of 19 countries with 77 points.[2]
Before Junior Eurovision
For the first time since 2006, the Spanish broadcaster RTVE opted to use an open selection process to pick its representative.[3] An assessment committee made up of RTVE professionals created a shortlist from the 95 submissions received between mid-August and September to perform in the second phase, a live casting held in Madrid.[4][5] Carlos Higes was announced as the selected artist during the broadcast of the MasterChef Celebrity on 3 October 2022.[5]
At Junior Eurovision
The Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2022 will take place at the Karen Demirchyan Sports and Concerts Complex in Yerevan, Armenia on 11 December 2022.[6]
