Slovenia has been represented at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest since the twelfth edition in 2014. The Slovene participating broadcaster in the contest is Radiotelevizija Slovenija (RTVSLO). The broadcaster originally used an internal selection format for its participation at the 2014 contest. The first entry at the 2014 contest was "Nisi sam (Your Light)" by Ula Ložar, which finished in twelfth place out of sixteen participating entries, achieving a score of twenty-nine points. RTVSLO participated for a second time at the 2015 contest. This time, it organised a children's spin-off of their Eurovision national final EMA to select their entry. "Prva ljubezen" by Lina Kuduzović finished in third place overall, achieving Slovenia's highest placing in both the adult and junior Eurovision Song Contest. RTVSLO withdrew from the contest in 2016, citing that the decision was made based on changes to the contest rules by the EBU, although not specifying which rule changes influenced their decision to withdraw from the competition. Despite originally expressing an interest to return to the 2022 contest, the plans did not flourish and it is yet to return to the event.
