MGP Nordic 2002 was the first annual MGP Nordic, a song competition eligible to singers from Denmark, Norway and Sweden between the ages of 8 and 15. It took place on 27 April 2002 in Copenhagen, Denmark and was hosted by Camilla Ottesen, Stian Barsnes Simonsen and Josefin Sundström.
The winner was then 12-year-old Razz from Denmark with his song "Kickflipper".
The contest originated in 2000 when Denmark's Radio held a song contest for Danish children that year and in 2001. The idea was extended to a Scandinavian song competition in 2002, MGP Nordic, with Denmark, Norway and Sweden as participants.
The regional MGP Juniors competitions were combined with Junior Eurovision Song Contest after the latter's creation in 2003. MGP Nordic was cancelled from 2003 to 2005 when the countries sent their finalists to JESC. But Denmark and Norway pulled out in 2006 and began holding MGP Nordic competitions again, preferring the original Scandinavian competition. Sweden participated in both contests in 2006 and 2007, with different contestants, but pulled out of JESC in 2008 before returning a year later.
Each of the three countries holds preselection contests with ten national finalists: Sweden's MGP Junior which was later known as Lilla Melodifestivalen, Norway's MGPjr, and Denmark's De Unges Melodi Grand Prix. The three winners from each country compete in the final MGP Nordic competition.
