Ukraine participated in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2015 in Sofia, Bulgaria. On 10 July 2015 it was confirmed that they will use a national selection. The semi-final took place on 25 July 2015. Fourteen acts competed in the televised final on 22 August 2015.Anna Trincher and her song "Pochny z sebe" were later declared the winners and represented Ukraine. Ukraine finished in 11th place with 38 points.
The song "Thank God It's Friday" performed by Alina Valuyska was originally announced as one of the fifteen competing songs, however on 10 August it was announced by the broadcaster that the song had been disqualified due to plagiarism accusations that the song had copied "So Bright" by American electronic musician Pretty Lights featuring American rapper Eligh. In addition, Valuyska was not credited as contributing to the songwriting process while there is a rule that all participants must've had some part in writing their song.
Anna Trincher (Ukrainian: Анна Трінчер) is a Ukrainian singer. She also attempted to represent Ukraine in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2014 with her song "Nebo znaye" (Heaven knows), placing thirteenth. She’s no stranger to musical competition. In the past, Anna has participated in a number of musical competitions and festivals, including the “Nightingale of Ukraine”, the “My Chance” online competition, the musical division of the International Turkish Olympiad, “New Wave” 2015 and the Ukrainian edition of “The Voice Kids” (mentored by singer Natalia Mogilevska).
Anna is very active in school, with a particular interest in Algebra and Geometry, as well as English, because it gives her the chance to communicate with new friends from all over the world.
Looking towards her future, Anna’s biggest goal at the moment is to honorably represent Ukraine at this year’s Junior Eurovision Song Contest, but beyond that, she’d love to hold her own solo concert, with an audience full of her friends, family, and fans. Her biggest dream, however, is to perform a duet with Beyoncé.
