Background
Prior to the 2016 Contest, Georgia had participated in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest nine times since its debut in 2007.[1] They have never missed an edition of the contest, and have won twice at the 2008, and 2011 contests.[2]
Before Junior Eurovision
The Georgian broadcaster announced on 17 August 2016, that they would be participating at the contest to be held in Valletta, Malta. Their entrant and song had to be chosen in a national selection show. However, the national selection was cancelled and the artist was selected through an internal selection.[3] On 30 September 2016, Mariam Mamadashvili was selected to represent Georgia. Her song for the contest, "Mzeo", was presented on 24 October 2016.
