Sweden was represented at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2006 by Molly Sandén with "Det finaste någon kan få". TV4 took over participation after Sveriges Television (SVT) withdrew after 2005. After the 2005 Contest, SVT decided to withdraw from Junior Eurovision to participate in the revived Scandinavian contest MGP Nordic, previously held in 2002. TV4 decided to continue Sweden's participation in Junior Eurovision, remaining the only Nordic country left in the contest.[1]
