I heard somewhere that with less than 11 countries the contest would be stopped. I guess they'd still find a way to do it this year with a new voting system but it'd probably be the last edition.
Iceland: Will Not Take Part In JESC 2014 | Eurovoix
Ireland: Will Not Debut At JESC 2014 | Eurovoix
Iceland and Ireland will not debut. Ireland's TG4 didn't manage to get the funds, while Iceland's RUV said that when they previously stated that they would most likely enter, they thought they were asked about Eurovision and not Junior Eurovision
I wrote about that ages ago after speaking with TG4 lol

There will be even more countries than last year
And it won't be the last edition for sure. With the new supervisor Vlad Yakovlev and the changes in the format, JESC will rise...just like a phoenix

Cyprus are returning to Junior Eurovision for the first time since 2009!Cyprus returns to Junior Eurovision! | News | Junior Eurovision Song Contest - Malta 2014
According to Wikipedia, that takes the total to 10 participants now.
We have 9 officially confirmed countries...
Greece, Italy, San Marino plus maybe Hungary (as already stated) likely to be in Marsa
Plus the EBU are working with other countries to try and get returns / debuts
I predict 15 participants

The whole thing will be targeted more to the teens and more adult auditory. The top three countries in the final standings will be awarded with trophies, the fees are much more affordable as well. There will be some activities with school children from the host country and the event will consist of more things than what's shown on TV in the final evening. As far as I know, for sure there will be more countries taking part than last year (most probably their number will be between 14 and 18) with Greece, Cyprus and maybe Bulgaria being back, Italy and Hungary debuting and Moldova, San Marino and Azerbaijan staying in the line-up. There are talks with many broadcasters, so it's possible to have many other surprises in addition to the highly rumoured ones
Ok, I have honestly not paid so much attention the last two years mostly because the quality of the songs is pure **** in overall, the last two winners were good at least which was very important for the image of the contest, when won in 2011, I was very convinced that JESC wouldn´t exist for more than 2-3 more years. So if was very pleased that and became the winners the last two editions because they had great songs.
For the first time under SVT, has a great song. (The songs that were selected under TV4 were great)
So it´s great that EBU are really working on JESC because under the older format, it would have been dead in a few years. The massive effect will not come this year but maybe next year

I think that even this year there will be huge difference in a positive direction in comparison with what've been before. Many broadcasters are really considering the option to try again with JESC as the new concept really looks quite interesting
We have very dedicated host like Malta as well to make all these plans happen in the reallity. So I'm really positive about the future of JESC.

Iceland will not debut in JESC 2014 Junior Eurovision: Iceland will not debut in 2014
Apparently the person responding to the journalists enquiries mixed up ESC and JESC, so said that they would most likely be there.
Edit: Just noticed this was mentioned above, sorry!

I think this year is destined to be a flop when it comes to the list of participants.

Italy already confirmed (Norway close to sign JESC 2014 participation | OIKOTIMES.COM). And Norway is very close to return with another tv channel (Norway close to sign JESC 2014 participation | OIKOTIMES.COM).
10 participants at this point.
