After the 2005 Contest, SVT decided to withdraw from Junior Eurovision to participate in a new Scandinavian contest - MGP Nordic. TV4 decided to continue Sweden's participation in the contest, remaining the only Nordic country left in the contest.[1]

Stage Junior 2006

TV4 decided to hold a national final to select the Swedish entry for the 2006 Junior Eurovision Song Contest. The show was held on 2 September at Globen in Stockholm, hosted by Agneta Sjödin and Adam Alsing. Televoting selected the winner from the 8 competing songs.[2]

Only the top three songs were announced, with Molly Sandén winning the contest as the favourite, receiving 35% of the votes for her performance of "Det finaste någon kan få".[3]

gollark: Curse this accursed curse!
gollark: I'm not sure about that, but grouping by ability should allow significant imþrovements.
