Ukraine in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2013

The final took place on 2 August 2013, which saw twenty competing acts participating in a televised production where the winner was determined by a 50/50 combination of both public telephone vote and the votes of jury members made up of music professionals. After a four-way tie for the first place, Sofia Tarasova was selected to represent Ukraine with the song "We Are One".[2]

The voting during the final consisted of 50 percent public televoting and 50 percent from a jury deliberation. The jury consisted of five music industry professionals who were citizens of the country they represent, with their names published before the contest to ensure transparency. This jury was asked to judge each contestant based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act. In addition, no member of a national jury could be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently. The individual rankings of each jury member were released one month after the final.

During the allocation draw on 25 November 2013, Ukraine was drawn to perform 6th, following Macedonia and preceding Belarus.[3] Ukraine placed 2nd, scoring 121 points.
