Number of participating countries in Eurovision Young Musicians from 1982 to 2022 (excluding 2020)

Broadcasters from forty-three countries have participated in the Eurovision Young Musicians since it started in 1982, with winners coming from twelve of those countries. This biennial classical music competition organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) is held between members of the union, who participate representing their countries. Broadcasters send to the competition one young talented musician aged 12 to 21 that performs a piece of classical music of their choice accompanied by the event's orchestra, and a jury, composed of international experts, decides the top 3 participants.

Participation in the contest is primarily open to all broadcasters with active EBU membership, with only one entrant per country allowed in any given year. To become an active member of the EBU, a broadcaster has to be from a country which is covered by the European Broadcasting Area –that is not limited only to the continent of Europe–, or is a member state of the Council of Europe. Thus, eligibility is not determined by geographic inclusion within Europe, despite the "Euro" in "Eurovision", nor does it have a direct connection with the European Union.

Participants

The Eurovision Young Musicians, inspired by the success of the BBC Young Musician of the Year, is a biennial competition organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) for European musicians that are 18 years old or younger. The first edition of the Eurovision Young Musicians took place in Manchester, United Kingdom on 11 May 1982 and six countries took part. Germany's Markus Pawlik won the contest, with France and Switzerland placing second and third respectively. The 2020 contest was cancelled, so it will be excluded from the table below.

Listed are all the countries that have ever taken part in the competition, alongside the year in which they made their debut:
