The Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2011 was the ninth edition of the annual Junior Eurovision Song Contest, and took place in Yerevan, Armenia at the Karen Demirchyan Sports and Concerts Complex.[1] It was the first time in history of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest that the contest was held in the previous year's winning country. Public Television Company of Armenia (ARMTV) was the main organizer and host broadcaster of the show, being provided financial aid from the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) made of entrance fees from the participating broadcasters, while Swedish company HD Resources assisted with the technical side of the production.[4][5]

Thirteen countries participated, with Malta and Serbia withdrawing and Bulgaria returning. The winner was the group Candy from Georgia with the song "Candy Music".[6] Netherlands and Belarus finished in second and third place, respectively. This was Georgia's second victory in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest following a previous victory in 2008.
