And finally, here are the promotional materials for JESC 2011. I think Belarus probably had the best package. Moldova had no promotional CD, unfortunately. And big thanks to Johan Jamtberg for bringing me CD of Frida Sanden, the only one I had been missing since 2007.

The only artist we've missed at after-party was Ukrainian Kristall. The information is that both during 3rd rehearsal and final there was no sound in her headphones. Yesterday it was working perfectly and all settings were set. After 3rd dress Kristall and Lerika had stayed to test their headphones and they were adjusted. Shockingly, the problem was back at the final itself. However, we were told Kristall is not very upset, and delegation is trying to explain her she is the winner anyway.

Other delegations, including Dutch one almost ready to leave to the airport, were present at the party, which was a mess, and had not included any disco. Even kids trying to get playing piano were not allowed to use it. Otherwise, it was the last chance of kids to meet and exchange their contacts and they have used this chance to the full.

With this ESCKAZ ends our Yerevan coverage and says THANK YOU.

Just brought us the latest video.

BTW, we didn't mention there were some problems with sound during Ukrainian 3rd rehearsal, and it had been adjusted after the broadcast ended. We hope all goes well in the final.

While I have time I will probably do round up of the Euroweek.

First of all, I really would like to thank Tigran Danielyan (whom you may recognize as host of Armenian JESC diaries) for his assistance in the work of the press.

The start was very difficult, you remember - no information, incorrect schedule of arrivals, a lot of problems for delegations and in the press center, closed for international press parties, the impression of complete irrelevance of competition to all organizers. But I'm very happy that the organizers listened to criticism and learned from their mistakes, and by Thursday life of the press center in principle was set normal.

But viewers will not notice it today. The TV show will still have it's bad points - first of all the once that I had criticized more than month ago - no participants in postcards and no group song. The rest of the show certainly goes according to plan and is run at a good level. I am pleased with the stage, host, in principle, even guests of the competition. There were however problems with the lighting, they remain so far. But the overall TV picture should be a success.

Thanks to the participating delegations, again I will not name any of them in particular, because all were friendly without exception this year. It is your support that is very important to me and makes me to continue working with this contest. Remember that the future of competition is in your hands, and in your power is to direct its development in a new direction and influence the decisions of the EBU, do not let the competition stagnate, criticize, make suggestions, go for it!

I want to thank those who helped the blog - notably Marc, Tolik, Garik and everyone else, thank you very much. Thanks to readers for the fact that you appreciate our work, in fact to be the biggest media, even on such a small event like Junior Eurovision requires a lot of strength and nerves. It is not limited in a week's work - come, walk around the press-center, left and forgot about the contest until then next December, as all press present here usually do (and sometimes even steal materials, and pretend that you do everything himself) - the real work goes in months and virtually around the clock.

That's basically all that I wanted to say. I can not say that the week in the competition has become one of the best in my life, but by no means the worst, I am very pleased with the work we've done, so leave Yerevan tomorrow with a sense of inner satisfaction.

And I am more than confident that we will meet again, because surely a victory for Armenia in adult Eurovision is around the corner and will come in the next few years.
