Eurovision Fact #453:
In 2014, children aged 10-15 were allowed to participate in Junior Eurovision. This rule would hypothetically allow 15-year-olds to take part in Junior Eurovision one year, then Eurovision in the next.
However, this was only ever done by Anita Simoncini, who participated for San Marino in Junior Eurovision in 2014 as a member of The Peppermints, then represented the nation in Eurovision the following year as part of a duo with Michele Perniola.
She placed 15th in Junior Eurovision and unfortunately did not qualify for the Grand Final in Eurovision, placing 16th in her semi-final.
