Qualification The competition was open to skaters from ISU member nations who were at least 13 but not 19—or 21 for male pair skaters and ice dancers—before July 1, 2014, in their place of birth. National associations selected their entries according to their own criteria but the ISU mandated that their selections achieve a minimum technical elements score (TES) at an international event prior to the Junior Worlds.
The term "Junior" in ISU competition refers to age, not skill level. Skaters may remain age-eligible for Junior Worlds even after competing nationally and internationally at the senior level. At junior events, the ISU requires that all programs conform to junior-specific rules regarding program length, jumping passes, types of elements, etc.
Number of entries per discipline Based on the results of the 2014 World Junior Championships, the ISU allowed each country one to three entries per discipline.
Spots Men Ladies Pairs Dance 3 2 Great Britain If not listed above, one entry is allowed.
Entries Member nations began announcing their selections in January 2015. The ISU published the complete list of entries on 16 February 2015.
