Before Eurovision

Selecţia Naţională Eurovision Junior 2008

The final took place on 1 June 2008, hosted by Alina Sorescu and Iulia Ciobanu. 12 songs took part and the winner was determined by a 50/50 combination of votes from a jury panel and a public televote. The winner was "Salvaţi planeta!" performed by Mădălina & Andrada.[1]

As there was a tie at the end of the voting, the results of the jury vote took precedence.

At Eurovision

On 14 October 2008 the running order for Junior Eurovision took place, and the Romanian song was given the spot to perform first. At Junior Eurovision, the Romanian performers wore dresses symbolising the four

seasons and water. The presentation was very similar to that of the national final. Behind the dancers was a giant globe. The song placed in 9th position with 58 points. The entry also received points from every country, the most being eight points from Cyprus and Macedonia.[3]
