Returning Artists
Usually, artists are not allowed to compete again in Junior Eurovision. But for the 2011 contest, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) made a special exception. Ekaterina Ryabova, who had competed for Russia in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2009, was allowed to perform again. This was the first time this had happened in the contest's history.
The EBU coordinator, Sietse Bakker, even said that this rule might be completely removed starting from 2012. Ekaterina had actually tried to enter the contest in 2010 too, but she couldn't because of the rule at the time.
| Artist | Country | Previous year(s) |
