The Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2013 was the 11th edition of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, held on 30 November 2013 at the Palace "Ukraine" in Kyiv, Ukraine,[1][4] and presented by Timur Miroshnychenko and Zlata Ognevich. It was organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster the National Television Company of Ukraine (NTU).[4] It was the second time the contest was held in Kyiv, the first being the 2009 contest. It was also the second time in the history of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest that the event was hosted by the previous year's winning broadcaster, as well as the first time that the event was held in the same city twice. The venue for the contest was announced on 17 April 2013.[5]

Broadcasters from a total of twelve countries participated, with Macedonia and Malta making a return,[6][7] and Albania,[8] Belgium[9] and Israel choosing to withdraw.[10] San Marino made their debut in the contest.[11] Cyprus was originally the thirteenth country to take part but pulled out the last minute.[12]

The winner was Malta with the song "The Start" by Gaia Cauchi. This was Malta's first Junior Eurovision victory as well as their first victory in any Eurovision competition.[3] It also marked the first time in the history of the contest that a winning entry was sung entirely in English. This was also the first contest to introduce a new awards system: The winning country along with the second and third place countries each received a trophy. Sofia Tarasova, representing the host nation Ukraine, took second place and Ilya Volkov singing for Belarus took the third-place trophy.

The European Broadcasting Union invited broadcasters to bid for the rights to host the contest.[13] On 12 February 2013, the Ukrainian national broadcaster NTU and EBU announced that the 2013 contest would take place in Kyiv.[1] Palace "Ukraine" was confirmed as the host venue on 17 April.[5] The venue which is also known as the Ukrainian National Palace of Arts, better known as Palace "Ukraine" which is a venue administered by the State Directory of Affairs inside their public enterprises division and is one of the main venues for official events along with Palace of Sports in Kyiv, Ukraine, which hosted the 2009 contest.[14]

It was opened in 1970 as the biggest centre of culture and arts. The building was designed by a group of architects P. Zhylytskyi, I. Vayner, under the directorship of the project's author the distinguished architect of Ukrainian SSR Yevhenia Marychenko.[15] All of the architects were awarded Shevchenko National Prize (1971) for its design and construction.

On 4 November 2013, it was confirmed that twelve countries would be taking part in the contest.[16] Prior to that, in October, it was announced that the executive supervisor managed to maintain the participation of thirteen countries for the contest in Kyiv, Ukraine.[17] The name of the thirteenth country was expected to be announced by the European Broadcasting Union on 29 October 2013.[17] It was later confirmed on 1 November 2013 that Cyprus were going to be the thirteenth country but withdrew at the last minute.[12]

The opening number featured several fairytale scenes with dancers and musicians on the stage, with LED screens and movable parts and puzzle pieces floating above the stage also featured.[30] The interval included Eurovision 2013 winner Emmelie de Forest performing "Only Teardrops", all participants performing the theme song "Be Creative", last year's winner Anastasiya Petryk and Zlata Ognevich also performed on stage.[31][32] Some hours before the start of the contest Ruslana withdrew from performing at the event,[33] motivated by the violent actions of the Ukrainian authorities against the pro-European Union protests that were happening near the contest's venue.[34]
