It is held periodically as an event of the Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating (JGP), a series of international competitions exclusively for junior-level skaters. Medals may be awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance. Skaters earn points based on their results at the qualifying competitions each season, and the top skaters or teams in each discipline are invited to then compete at the Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final.
== History == The ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating (JGP) was established by the International Skating Union (ISU) in 1997 and consists of a series of seven international figure skating competitions exclusively for junior-level skaters. The locations of the Junior Grand Prix events change every year. While all seven competitions feature the men's, women's, and ice dance events, only four competitions each season feature the pairs event. Skaters earn points based on their results each season, and the top skaters or teams in each discipline are then invited to compete at the Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final.<ref name=":0">{{cite web |title=ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating |url=https://isu-skating.com/figure-skating/events/isu-junior-grand-prix/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250424041109/https://isu-skating.com/figure-skating/events/isu-junior-grand-prix/ |archive-date=24 April 2025 |access-date=30 May 2025 |website=International Skating Union}}</ref>
