Lissandro from France has won the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in Yerevan with his song Oh Maman!, beating off favourites such as Armenia, Georgia and the United Kingdom.
In an unpredicted turn of events, France have won the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2022. While an early favourite, France eventually found themselves low on most polls for the contest, so it was quite a nice surprise when they managed to beat out all the competition and top the results with 203 points. It was easily the least predicted winner, in the fan community, since Estonia’s win at the Eurovision Song Contest 2001.
This win marks France’s 2nd win at the contest, and incidentally making it their 2nd win in three years. Both of their winners have been co-written by, Eurovision Song Contest 2021 runner up, Barbara Pravi. It has already been confirmed by France Télévisions that they will host the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2023. While host city bidding will certainly go ahead in the next few months, it is largely expected the contest will find itself in Paris, once again.

The result used the same method as introduced at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2017, and used ever since, using 50% national jury voting and then 50% worldwide online voting. There was a reported issue with online voting and the website failing to load across Europe, but the EBU have yet to comment on the matter.
