The 2013–14 ISU Junior Grand Prix was the 17th season of a series of junior international competitions organized by the International Skating Union. It was the junior-level complement to the 2013–14 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating, in which senior-level skaters will compete. Medals were awarded in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dance.
Skaters earn points toward qualifying for the final at each of the seven Junior Grand Prix events. The top six skaters or teams from each discipline meet at the 2013–14 Junior Grand Prix Final, to be held concurrently with the senior final.
Competitions The locations of the JGP events change yearly. In the 2013–14 season, the series was composed of the following events in autumn 2013:

JGP Final qualification standings
Qualification rules At each event, skaters earn points toward qualification for the Junior Grand Prix Final. Following the 7th event, the top six highest scoring skaters advance to the Final. The points earned per placement are as follows:
Placement Points (Singles/Dance) Points (Pairs) 1st 15 15 2nd 13 13 3rd 11 11 4th 9 9 5th 7 7 6th 5 5 7th 4 4 8th 3 3 9th 2 – 10th 1 –
There are seven tie-breakers in cases of a tie in overall points: Highest placement at an event. If a skater placed 1st and 3rd, the tiebreaker is the 1st place, and that beats a skater who placed 2nd in both events. Highest combined total scores in both events. If a skater earned 200 points at one event and 250 at a second, that skater would win in the second tie-break over a skater who earned 200 points at one event and 150 at another. Participated in two events. Highest combined scores in the free skating/free dance portion of both events. Highest individual score in the free skating/free dance portion from one event. Highest combined scores in the short program/short dance of both events. Highest number of total participants at the events. If there is still a tie, it is considered unbreakable and the tied skaters all advance to the Junior Grand Prix Final.
