MGP Junior (Denmark)

MGP Junior (standing for Melodi Grand Prix) is the Danish national final that selected the entry to represent Denmark in the annual Melodi Grand Prix Nordic junior singing competition, a defunct Scandinavian competition for children and adolescents.

History

MGP was first held in 2000 under the name Børne1erens Melodi Grand Prix, but starting 2001, it was changed to the present name MGP (short for Melodi Grand Prix) but not to be confused with Dansk Melodi Grand Prix, a competition for adult singers to qualify for the Eurovision Song Contest.

In 2002, the idea of MGP for Juniors caught on in other Scandinavian countries and became a pan-Scandinavian Nordic competition under the name MGP Nordic with national selections in Sweden and Norway in addition to the existing Danish MGP (Junior) selection.

In 2003, MGP became even greater, with the EBU holding a European Song Contest at Forum in Copenhagen on 15 November 2003. It was named the Junior Eurovision Song Contest.

In 2006, Denmark, Sweden and Norway opted out of the pan-European MGP and MGP Nordic resumed. They said their withdrawal from the pan-European competition was in protest to treatment of the competitors in the European version.

In 2007 membership for MGP Nordic expanded to include Finland. In 2010, Danish national competition was not held after Sweden pulled out and instead sent their winner to the Junior Eurovision Song Contest.
