Draft:Spain in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2024

Spain will participate in and host the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Madrid, with a song performed by Chloe DelaRosa. The Spanish broadcaster Radiotelevisión Española (RTVE) is responsible for the country's participation in the contest, and will select the Spanish entrant and song through internal selection.

Background
Prior to the 2024 contest, Spain had participated in the contest nine times. Spain came second on its debut appearence in with the song "Desde el cielo" performed by Sergio, and won the contest  with the song "Antes muerta que sencilla" performed by María Isabel. The country decided to take an indefinite break from the contest after the contest, with an RTVE representative stating "Junior Eurovision promotes stereotypes [they] do not share". Spain returned after a 13-year absence in. Their return proved successful, with Melani García in and Soleá in  both reaching third place. In, Sandra Valero competed for Spain with the song "Loviu", which ended up in 2nd place out of 16 entries with 201 points.

Following the refusal of French broadcaster France Télévisions to host the Junior Eurovision Song Contest for the third time in four years, Spain, which finished in second place in 2023, was offered to host the contest by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), which it ultimately accepted and was announced as the host country on 14 February 2024, with the Caja Mágica in Madrid announced as the venue on 10 May 2024.

Internal selection
The Spanish entry for the 2024 contest will be selected internally by the Spanish broadcaster RTVE, which opened a submission process for interested artists aged between nine and fourteen on 14 May 2024. All submissions required participants to enter covers of two songs, with applications open until 3 July 2024. It was previously anticipated in February 2024 that the selection method for the Spanish song and artist would follow a similar casting format to and, while on 10 May 2024 it was revealed that the song would be selected afterwards from a pool of entries submitted by "a large group of [both] national and international composers" and later recorded in September, with suitability to the vocal abilities and style of the selected artist having been reported to be one of the main criteria in the song selection process. Upon closing the submission period, Benidorm Fest 2024 artistic director César Vallejo announced that nearly 300 applications had been submitted; the precise number was later revealed to be 290.

Following an audition round held on 16 July 2024 at Prado del Rey in Pozuelo de Alarcón, Madrid, an expert jury panel appointed by RTVE determined the eventual representative for the country. Chloe DelaRosa was announced as the Spanish entrant for the contest on 18 July 2024 during a presentation event held in the presence of RTVE's head of communications María Eizaguirre, head of the Spanish delegation to the contest Ana María Bordas and the aforementioned Vallejo.
