The World Junior Figure Skating Championships ("World Juniors" or "Junior Worlds") is an annual figure skating competition sanctioned by the International Skating Union, in which younger figure skaters compete for the title of World Junior Champion. The ISU guidelines for junior eligibility have varied throughout the years; the current requirements are for the competitor to have reached the age of 13 by the previous July 1st, but not yet 19, except for men competing in pair skating and ice dancing, where the upper limit is 21.
