Let’s Bloom!
RTVE has unveiled “Let’s Bloom” as the slogan and artistic theme for the 22nd Junior Eurovision Song Contest. The theme symbolizes the growth and blossoming of young artists as they take the stage and showcase their talents at the event.
The same concept will be carried over to the ‘postcards’; the short videos that precede the performances of every country. Each artist will be able to combine the motto, Let’s Bloom with a concept related to JESC values: Bloom in harmony, Bloom in joy, Bloom in diversity, etc.
Ana María Bordas, Original Content Director at RTVE and Executive Producer of JESC 2024 explains the idea behind the theme:
We have thought of a concept that, taking nature as an example, influences the idea of young artists flourishing towards a future where they can be themselves and express freely in a healthy, safe and diverse way. The aim is to walk with them in their growth and development. In short, to help them flourish and progress, by being themselves.
The concept of flowers and blooming comes from nature itself, where there is so much diversity and in which everything is important, harmonious and beautiful.
Junior Eurovision 2024 Staging
The concept of blooming will come to life on the Caja Mágica stage through the use of organic elements. RTVE has crafted a set that is both simple and modern, featuring a striking central element: a large vertical LED screen. This groundbreaking design not only dominates the stage but also reflects the verticality of the digital world that resonates with today’s youth.
Madrid 2024
JESC 2024 will take place at Caja Mágica, one of the architectural landmarks of Madrid, which has the capacity to accommodate between 5,000 and 7,000 spectators.
