Armenia has participated in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest since 2007. Armenian Public Television (ARMTV), a member organisation of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), has been responsible for the selection process of their participants since their debut.
The first representative to participate for the nation at the 2007 contest was Arevik with the song "Erazanq" (Երազանք), which finished in second place out of 17 participating entries, achieving a score of 136 points. Since their debut, Armenia had never missed an edition of the contest, with the exception of 2020 (due to the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war), and won twice, in 2010 with the song "Mama" (Մամա) by Vladimir Arzumanyan and in 2021 with the song "Qami Qami" (Քամի Քամի) by Maléna.[1][2] The worst result to date was achieved by two representatives: L.E.V.O.N. at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2018 with his song "L.E.V.O.N" and Karina Ignatyan at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2019 with her song "Colours of Your Dream", both placing ninth. Armenia hosted the contest at the Karen Demirchyan Complex in Yerevan in 2011 and again in 2022.
