Melodi Grand Prix Junior, also spelled as MGP jr. and MGPjr, is a Norwegian television song competition for aspiring singer-songwriters between the ages of 8 and 15. The contestants sings primarily in Norwegian, but have also sung in Northern Sami, another language of Norway.
History
The idea was taken from the Danish broadcaster Danmarks Radio, who launched a song contest for aspiring singers aged 8 to 15 in spring 2000. The format was a success and caught the attention of Norway and Sweden in 2002.
From 2003 to 2005, the contest used to select the Norwegian entry for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest (JESC). In 2006 Norway withdrew from the contest to participate in Melodi Grand Prix Nordic and the contest used to select the entry for MGP Nordic until 2009. MGPjr is still held annually, but it's not used to select an entry for any contest. Shortly after Junior Eurovision 2021, NRK revealed that a delegation was sent to Paris to watch how much the contest evolved, raising questions about a possible return in 2022.[1]
Only days after the 2022 edition of MGPjr ended, NRK announced changes to the format, thus putting the contest's future in jeopardy.[2]
