Main article: Georgia in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest |
Prior to the 2022 contest, Georgia had participated in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest fourteen times since its debut in 2007,[3] and since then they have never missed a single contest. Georgia is also the most successful country in the competition, with three victories in 2008, 2011 and 2016.[4] In the 2021 contest, Niko Kajaia represented Georgia with the song "Lets Count The Smiles" following his victory in the fourth season of Ranina, achieving 4th place out of 19 with 163 points.
For the fifth year in a row, Georgia used an original children's talent show format, Ranina (Georgian: რანინა), as the selection method for their artist. Georgian broadcaster GPB confirmed that Ranina would be used for the fifth time on 18 November 2021.[5] The list of participants competing in the show was revealed on 3 April 2022, confirming that the show would once again have 10 competitors.[6] On 5 April, GBP announced that Ranina will kick off on Saturday 16 April.[7]
The shows of round 1 took place on 16 and 23 April 2022. The jurors for this round were Maka Aroshidze, Davit Evgenidze and Tamar Skvitaridze. All contestants except Kato Chkareuli, Oto Bazerashvili and Nini Gazdeliani performed with former Ranina participants, such as: Anastasia Garsevanishvili (2019); Nia Khinchikashvili, Sandra Gadelia, Lela Kveniashvili, Marita Khvedelidze and Rati Gelovani (2020); Barbare Makhatadze and Niko Kajaia (2021).[8][9]

On 29 October 2022, GPB reported from the filming of the music video for Mariam's song, featuring four dancers.[25]
After the opening ceremony, which took place on 5 December 2022, it was announced that Georgia would perform eighth on 11 December 2022, following Albania and preceding Ireland.[26]
The same voting system that was introduced in the 2017 edition was used, where the results were determined by 50% online voting and 50% jury voting. Every country had a national jury that consisted of three music industry professionals and two children aged between 10 and 15 who were citizens of the country they represented. The rankings of those jurors were combined to make an overall top ten.[27]
The online voting consisted of two phases. The first phase of the online voting began on 9 December 2022 when a recap of all the rehearsal performances was shown on the contest's website Junioreurovision.tv before the viewers could vote. After this, voters also had the option to watch longer one-minute clips from each participant's rehearsal. This first round of voting ended on Sunday 11 December at 15:59 CET. The second phase of the online voting took place during the live show and began right after the last performance and was open for 15 minutes. International viewers were able vote for three songs.[28] They were also able to vote for their own country's song. These votes were then turned into points which were determined by the percentage of votes received. For example, if a song received 10% of the votes, it received 10% of the available points.
