Junior Eurosong 2008 was the national final format developed by PBS to select the Maltese entry for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2008.
Competing entriesedit
Artists and composers were able to submit their entries between 7 and 8 August 2008. Artists were able to submit up to two songs, however, they could only compete with one song in the national final. PBS received 74 entries, and 36 songs were selected to compete in the semi-finals.[2]

Six juries (consisting of four adults and two kids) evaluated the songs during the shows and each jury had an equal stake in the final result. A seventh set of votes were the results of the public televote, which had a weighing equal to the votes of a single jury.

A seventh set of votes were the results of the public televote, which had a weighing equal to the votes of a single jury.[5] The eight members of the jury that evaluated the entries during the final consisted of:[2]
On 14 October 2008 the running order for Junior Eurovision took place, and the Maltese song was given the spot to perform in the tenth position; the same as in the 2007 contest. Daniel Testa reached to end up in the fourth place, the best position for Malta in this contest. This was also the best European result for Malta since Chiara's second position placing in the Eurovision Song Contest 2005.[6]
