  Albania has been taking part in Junior Eurovision since 2012 and has missed out the edition in 2013 and 2014. The best result came in 2015 when the country finished 5th with Mishela Rapo singing Dambaje while in 2018 Efi Gjika who finished 17th with her entry Barbie and in 2019 in Gliwice-Silesia, Poland,  where Isea Çili finished 17th with “Mikja ime fëmijëri”. 

  While the country withdrew in 2022 from the competition in Warsaw, last year they retunred with Anna Gjebrea singing in Paris “Stand by You” which finished 14th with 84 points.
