In A Coruña, Spain, Synthetic Beat Brigade won the AI Song Contest 2023 on 4 November, hailing from the Netherlands. The song by the Dutch group was crafted using an analysis of Eurovision Song Contest entries from 2010 to 2019. For the lyrics, they utilized GPT-2, and AI tools were employed to develop the backing track.
The 2024 contest will take place in Malmö, after Sweden's Loreen won for a record second time. This will be the third time (following the 1992 and 2013 contests) that Malmö will host. It will be held on the 7, 9 and 11 May in the Malmö Arena, the same venue as the 2013 edition.
France's Zoé Clauzure was the winner of the contest with the song "Cœur", making France the second country to win the Junior Eurovision Song Contest twice in a row, after Poland. The result also marked France equaling Georgia's record for the most Junior Eurovision victories. Spain, Armenia, the United Kingdom and Ukraine completed the top five. Further down the table, Germany achieved its best result to date, and Albania its second-best result, while Georgia tied its worst placement and Ireland placed last for the first time.
Marcus & Martinus of Sweden won the 2023 edition in Eskilstuna, Sweden. The show featured 24 entries that failed to be selected to take part in this year's Eurovision Song Contest.
