  The United Kingdom in Junior Eurovision 

  The United Kingdom first participated in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest at the inaugural 2003 edition which took place in Copenhagen, Denmark. ITV, a member organisation of the United Kingdom Independent Broadcasting (UKIB) and the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), was responsible for the selection process of their participation from 2003 to 2005.

  The United Kingdom used a national selection format, broadcasting a show entitled Junior Eurovision Song Contest: The British Final, for their participation at the contests. The first representative to participate for the nation at the 2003 contest was Tom Morley with the song "My Song For The World", which finished in third place out of sixteen participating entries, achieving a score of 118 points.

  In 2004 they were represented by Cory Spedding with 'The best is yet to come' which finished second receiving 140 points while the next and last year we saw the UK in the competition Joni Fuller flew the flag performing 'How Does It feel' which came 14th with 28 points.
