Before Junior Eurovisionedit
National finaledit
Georgia selected their Junior Eurovision entry for 2011 through a national selection consisting of 9 songs, hosted by Sophio Toroshelidze.[3] The winner was girl-group Candy, with a song "Candy Music".[3] Candy won the jury vote and came second in the televote, with first place from the televote going to 3T.[3] The jury consisted of: Gia Janturia, Giorgi Gachechiladze, Mamuka Megrelishvili, Maya Baratashvili, Nika Tskhertsvadze and Irina Sanikidze.[3] The final was originally scheduled to take place on 1 June, but after the deadline for song submission was changed to 9 June, the final was pushed back to 9 July.[3] After the release of the competing entries, some were accused of plagiarism.[3]
