On 26 January 2015 , it was announced that Bulgaria would host the 2015 edition at the Arena Armeec in Sofia on 21 November . The 2015 junior contest has been credited by some for providing BNT with the financial support they needed to return to the adult Eurovision in 2016 , for their first Eurovision since 2013 - perhaps not coincidentally , their entrant in Stockholm was the Junior Eurovision 's 2015 host , Poli Genova . In June 2016 BNT selected their artist for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2016 in Valletta , Lidia Ganeva . After initially confirming their participation for the 2017 contest in Georgia , Bulgaria withdrew their application due to restructuring within the broadcaster and did not appear on the final list of countries released by the EBU on 9 August 2017
